Oktoberfest Brewers’ Banquet at Granite this Sat, Oct 29th!
It's been a long, long time since I've been at a restaurant that had a German Oom Pa Pa band playing. 
Two tickets reserved and maybe a couple more...Well that was fun. 
I was initially a little disappointed in the seating arrangements. It was large tables of eight seated together so that meant sitting with strangers. I'm anti-social, what can I say... 
I presume whomever was at the other end of table we were at (right in front of the band) is a bartowel member judging from the bit of conversation I overheard. We also had a nice older couple sitting down by us who I had some nice conversations with about HDTV and PVRs.
We had a couple of ringberries ahead of the meal. I was relieved that the initial beer of the evening, Granite IPA, wasn't very hoppy. The beer goulash was very good along with the accompanying beer Denison's Weissebier. Good to see Michael there and give a spiel about his two beers. Cheers for the second glass of the weisse! After the serving there were three extra glasses full at the bar. I was so tempted to walk up and snatch one!
Half way through the dinner I was stuffed. I didn't bother trying the Mill St. Oktoberfest (had several sips at Beer Bistro and didn't like the hopiness though I probably would have downed the glass if I wasn't full as it's not as hoppy as some other stuff out there) and only managed half the apple strudel and a few sips of the young barley wine.
The two man band was pretty good too.

It was added late and was on the menu at each person's seating. It's actually Granite's barley wine not Mill Streets, straight from fermenting tank #2. I recall Ron, the Granite owner and brewer, mentioning that it should be ready for general consumption in a week or two. Maybe someone else can confirm the availability as I was stuffed by then and starting to feel drowzy.inertiaboy wrote:I didn't see this one listed in the menu - is this an early version of this year's Mill Street Barley Wine? (if they are doing one, that is...)
