🍺🥨 ATTENTION, CAMBRIA: things are about to get aggressively Bavarian. 🇩🇪🎶

This Saturday from 4:00–9:30 PM, The Optimyst is surrendering completely to Oktoberfest.

The Biergarten will be full of cold FestBier, hot bratwursts, live music, questionable German accents, unnecessary amounts of “PROST!”, and people suddenly discovering they look fantastic in suspenders.

🍺 $6 FestBier — ALL DAY LONG
🌭 $6 Bratwursts
🎸 Bob McCandless live in the Bier Garten at 6:30 PM

And because we fully support ridiculous clothing choices:

🇩🇪 SHOW UP IN LEDERHOSEN OR A DIRNDL AND YOUR FIRST FESTBIER IS FREE! 🍺

No lederhosen? No problem. (but you must be clothed)
No German ancestry? Completely irrelevant.
Can’t pronounce Schadenfreude? Neither can we after three FestBiers.

Bring your friends. Grab a brat. Raise your stein. Sing too loudly. Stay too long.

OANS, ZWOA, DREI… G’SUFFA! 🍻🍻🍻
