Beer Poking Happy Hour

CHBC Oktoberfest Celebration Wednesday, September 16 - Sunday, October 18 Get ready to raise a stein! Join us for a four-week Oktoberfest celebration featuring Festbier, German-inspired food and fun, special events, local makers, and plenty of reasons to break out your lederhosen or dirndl. Join us for beer poking at Happy Hour from 4pm-6pm! What is beer poking? Beer poking (known in German as Bierstacheln) is the traditional practice of briefly plunging a red-hot metal rod into a glass of cold, malty beer. The extreme heat instantly caramelizes and crystallizes the unfermented residual sugars (maltose) via a Maillard reaction. At the same time, it rapidly forces out carbon dioxide. Dress the Part! Break out your lederhosen or dirndl and receive 20% OFF your purchase any day during Oktoberfest! Strike a Pose! Stop by our Oktoberfest selfie station in the Beer Garden, snap a photo, and tag us! #CHBCOktoberfest CH Festbier -- Prost! Every day we're open, enjoy our CH Festbier -- a 6.2% ABV, 21 IBU traditional Märzen-style malty lager that's perfect for cooler fall weather. Enjoy it on draft or take home a 4-pack featuring our custom Oktoberfest label, designed by local artist Eric Hinkley. Oktoberfest Roemer Glasses We have a limited number of special Oktoberfest Roemer glasses, made right here in the neighborhood by East Falls Glass. Purchase your glass and enjoy TWO FREE REFILLS!
