Banger's celebrates Oktoberfest form Oct 13-15 with its Brass Band Brunch on Oct 16

Banger’s Sausage House & Beer Garden, home to Austin’s widest selection of handmade sausages and craft beer, celebrates Oktoberfest on Thursday, October 13th through Saturday, October 15th with German-influenced food, beer and live music, followed by their regular Big Brass Band Brunch on Sunday, October 16th.

Chef Ted will serve up a special menu of bierwurst, spaetzle, schnitzel, weisswurst, and German potato cakes. A keg will be tapped in the beer garden daily and given away (free) a pint at a time to Banger’s guests until it’s gone. This year’s free keg is a ceremonial firkin of Live Oak.
