Shacktoberfest gets underway today

POSTED: Friday, October 12, 2012, 12:02 PM

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
