Brauhaus Schmitz doing it big for Oktoberfest

For their third Oktoberfest celebration, Brauhaus Schmitz (718 South St.) is pulling out all the stops over six days of festivities, from Sept. 19 through Sept. 24. Chef Jeremy Nolen and owners Doug Hager and Kelly Schmitz have everything from Bavarian Quizzo to a brat-eating contest lined up, all leading to a massive block party next Saturday. All of the 700 block of South will be closed to traffic for celebrants to gather under two 100-foot tents. Nolen is promising plenty of sausage, German beer and a pig roast. Peep their full schedule of events after the jump.
