Shacktoberfest gets underway today
Shake Shack shrugs off tradition, but hey, it's still Oktober.
Shacktoberfest gets underway today
You may have thought Oktoberfest was over. And to be fair, actual Oktoberfest is over. But October's still young, and blank-toberfest plays are still ripe for the picking. Enter Shacktoberfest! Honestly though, if Shake Shack wants to serve us 25-ounce steins and a bunch of Germanish menu options, we gladly accept—regardless of the date.
Today through Sun., Oct. 21, the menu at Shake Shack (2000 Sansom St.) will feature a handful of Shacktoberfest-only sausages; a burger topped with a sausage because it's a celebration, ok?; a couple of German-style beers in oversized souvenir steins; and a special concrete and shake in keeping with the theme:
Cheddar Brat Burger ($7.50)
Burger topped with a flat-top griddled cheddar bratwurst, crispy ShackMeister ale marinated
shallots and ShackSauce
Spicy Brat ($5.25)
Andouille sausage griddled and served with German-style slaw
Currywurst ($5.25)
Our spin on the Oktoberfest classic! Served on a toasted potato roll and topped with
crispy ShackMeister ale marinated shallots and curry ketchup
Bavarian Brat ($4.50)
For the purist! A griddled bratwurst topped with Dusseldorf Mustard
German Chocolate Pecan Concrete ($4.25 half, $6.50 regular)
Chocolate frozen custard blended with coconut–pecan caramel
and chocolate truffle cookie dough
Apfelstrudel Shake ($5.75)
Vanilla custard handspun with apples, caramel and spices
Shacktoberfest Bier Stein, 25 oz. (Yours to keep! $10)
Fill it with your choice of Brooklyn Brewery Oktoberfest or ShackMeister Ale
Refill is available, $7
