Oktoberfest Release Party this Saturday at Lompoc

Join the brewers at Lompoc Brewing this Saturday, August 31st, from 2pm to 10pm for their annual Oktoberfest Release Celebration at both 5th Quadrant and Sidebar (3901 N Williams Ave.). Enjoy cornhole, brats, shenanigans, tomfoolery and balleyhoo, plus live music from The TAJ Duo, which will play upbeat guitar and drum based rock, funk, and party time music in honor of the occasion.

Lompoc Oktoberfest is a German style lager with a clean malt flavor balanced by a touch of Perle hops. A portion of the grain used was roasted in the oven at Lompoc’s 5th Quadrant and lends a slight biscuit flavor (5% ABV). Also on tap at Sidebar will be 2018 Zin Sin, 2009 Bourbon Barrel Aged Dagda, 2009 Le Chat Noir, Moment of Clarity IPA, Paloma Smoothie IPA, Peachy Pilsner, SaazAll Pilsner, The Baron, Kick Axe Pale Ale, Lomporter, and Cider Riot Everybody Pogo Hoppy Cider.

5th Quadrant kitchen manager Chris Mann is preparing housemade pretzels with beer cheese and stone ground mustard, plus a choice of Zenners bratwursts or Carlton Farms bierwurst on a toasted roll served with house made sauerkraut, mustard and beer braised onions.

The Oregon Ducks play the Auburn Tigers at 4:30pm and the Portland Timbers play Real Salt Lake at home at 7:30pm; both games will be televised.
