The Brewtorium
6015 Dillard Cir A, Austin, TX 78752
It’s kind of like the Brewtorium celebrates Oktoberfest all year long, but this year, they’ve got a celebration scheduled for Saturday, October 8. In addition to polka dancing and beer olympics, this restaurant in Texas is serving up all their delicious German-style ales and lagers, and you’ll find no shortage in the regular menu of pretzels, sausage and Flammkuchen. But, when you’re at Brewtorium for some celebration, order some Currywurst with your beer — it’s both the most delicious and most classic street/festival food you can get.
