capitol city brewing oktoberfest 2005

It's finally that time of year again -- time for Octoberfest (I'm referring to both the Octoberfest amber-malty beers and Octoberfest festivals). One of my favorite annual events in this area is back:

Capitol City Brewing Company Oktoberfest
Saturday 8 October 2005, Noon to 7 PM
The Village at Shirlington, Arlington, VA

There will be more than 70 beers on tap from a variety of mid-Atlantic breweries, some pretty good food (the corn dogs that Cap City makes are soooo good), an "om-pah" band, and some alpine dancers (wearing their lederhosen). You can futz around with beer mugs and tickets, but $20 will get you a bottomless 3 oz tasting glass. Besides, with over 70 beers to try, who has room for more than 3 oz of each?!
