Prost!! Ya, Frau und Fraulein Das Bier ist gut und reichlich! Our favorite time of the year has arrived and we, along with our friends at Oyster City Brewing Company and the Chowder House are very excited to present ApalachOktoberfest 2019, our 6th annual German beer, music and food fest in Apalachicola! This year will be better than ever! First, let's talk beer. OCBC has brewed up 3 of their delicious beers for this year's event. Those of you savy enough to buy one of our commemorative ONE LITER Steins will be able to get $6 fillups of any of these three beers ALL THREE DAYS of ApalachOktoberfest. Mugs are available at Bowery Station, or can be purchased ahead of time online by clicking here! How does the week start off... well first.... Wednesday, October 9 - BS Open Mic hosted by Matt Gardi starts at 6pm. Come on out and sing a song and get to know what it feels like to get up on stage in front of a crowd and hear what you sound like on a sound system the pros play on. As always tips for BS Open Mic performers are dedicated to charity. This month we are working with our friends at the Forgotten Coast Parrot Head Club to help contribute to their efforts to raise money for Project Lifesaver by putting on a Haunted Trail (Oct 25th, 26th and 31st) in association with the Franklin County Sheriff's Office. Project Lifesaver is the premier search and rescue program operated internationally by public safety agencies, and is strategically designed for “at risk” individuals who are prone to the life threatening behavior of wandering. The primary mission of Project Lifesaver is to provide timely response to save lives and reduce potential injury for adults and children with the propensity to wander due to a cognitive condition (i.e. Alzheimer’s, Autism, etc.) We are excited to have the first $200 in tips matched by a very generous donor. So let's continue BS Open Mic's effort to help out this worthy cause. Thursday, October 10 - Brad Foutch is back in Apalachicola at Bowery Station for a show from 6:30-9:30pm. Brad is an extraordinary performer that can light up a stage with his amazingly energetic guitar and heartfelt vocals. Clearly one of the more talented guitarists in the region, Brad has his own unique style and stage presence as a soloist, and can range his set list to cater to any crowd, all while pushing a high level of energy into every song. Also, just to get people in the spirit, anyone that has a ONE LITER 2019 ApalachOktoberfest Mug can begin enjoying $6fillups of any OCBC beer on this Thursday because it's a precursor to ApalachOktoberfest which starts tomorrow! ApalachOktoberfest 2019 Begins! Friday Oct 11th thru Sunday Oct 13th!  Friday, October 11th will see the tapping of the golden keg, followed by brewmaster and singer/songwriter Clayton Mathis (4-6PM) and the Bo Spring Band (7-10pm).
