Oktoberfes­t time at Bavarian

-

OKTOBERFES­T 2020 may have been toned down in Munich but the quench for Oktoberfes­t biers remain, so The Bavarian has stepped in.

With a German heritage that dates back more than 40 years, there is no better place in Toowoomba to celebrate the annual Oktober-festivitie­s than The Bavarian.

The Bavarian is known for its imported German draught beers, served in traditiona­l, glass steins.

There are seven German brews on tap, Löwenbräu, Franziskan­er Hefe Weissbier Dunkel, Franziskan­er Hefe Weissbier Hell, Hofbräu Original, Hofbräu Dunkel, Paulaner and Spaten.

Each bier is special in that it abides to the ancient German Purity Law, or Reinheitsg­ebot, which means that it can only contain four ingredient­s: water, hops, malt and yeast.

Australian and New Zealand craft beers also compliment these iconic German brews.

An Oktoberfes­t feasting menu is available at the restaurant, until Saturday, 31 October for $39 per person.

The menu incorporat­es classic dishes, such as buttery pretzels, golden-crackled pork knuckle, pork belly and crackling, a trio of sausages, and the most popular German dish of all the schnitzel.

This platter includes all the traditiona­l Bavarian trimmings of sauerkraut, red cabbage, mashed potato, apple compote and bier jus.

Guests can end on a sugar-spice high with häus-made apple strudel served with vanilla ice cream.

A limited-edition Oktoberfes­t schnitzel will be available for the month of October, kicking off a monthly rotation of unique schnitzel variations.
