ROUND TOP - A chill is in the morning air, giving us a hint
that Fall is near, and so is the Round Top Schuetzen Verein's OktoBierFest 2024. This year's Fest will again be held on Okt. 26, on the club's shady grounds just east of Round Top on 710 FM 1457.
Start time is 11 a.m. All the Oktoberfest food is ready. On hand are Bratwurst, Kassler Rippchen, which are smoked pork chops, Schweineschnitzel, which are deep-fried breaded pork loins, and all the tasty sides.
But wait, there are a multitude of Biers on tap and in the bottle. To name a few from Germany, Hacker Pschorr, Paulaner, and Weihenstephaner, and this year, a variety of domestic Biers from Shiner, Yuengling, and Anheuser Busch.
The entertainment line-up is also authentically German/ Bavarian: yodeling, traditional folk tunes, and Blasmusik! Entertainers include Enzian Buam, the yodeler from Frelsburg, Auf Geht's, the authentic Bavarian
party band from Houston, and
the hometown Round Top Brass Band. Music starts at 11 a.m.,
and the ceremonial keg tapping is scheduled for noon.
OktoberBierFest fun entertain- ment includes Masskrugstem - men, the ever-popular Steinhold - ing contest for men and women and the Saufmaschine, alias the drinking machine, a device with five hoses connected to 12 ounc es of Bier.
All activities will conclude at 6 p.m. The Fest will be held rain or shine. Visit www.roundtoprifle.
