We’re bringing a little bit of Munich to Framingham with a nine-day celebration of what we do best: German food and German beer, plus live music, steinholding, and keg tossing! If that wasn’t enough, this legendary week gets even better: The US Steinholding Association’s second annual Massachusetts State Championship will be held here on Sunday, October 1!

We will be hosting a food drive for Daniel’s Table, a local organization working to create food security, all week long. Bring a nonperishable food item and receive a coupon to come back to our Beer Hall!

There’s plenty of festbier to go around – come raise a stein with us!
