BIG DOG'S BREW CO. TO HOST ITS DOGTOBER BEER FEST & BRAT PARTY
ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24th
"DOGtober"

Big Dog's Brewing Company is extremely excited to present its DOGtober Beer Fest & Brat Party. The fun filled day will include an on-site beer and music party on Saturday, September 24th (2-9 pm). The event will include 30+ beers from some of the best breweries around! Chef Sergio and his team will be cooking up a Wisconsin-style Oktoberfest Brat Party with beer bratwurst, knackwurst, frankfurters, Bavarian-style pretzels, and Bavarian-style Kraut. The band "Rhapsody in Blues" will be rocking the stage. We'll be raffling off tons of Big Dog's gear, beer and more. The grand prize is our special edition DOGtober Beer Fest guitar. All in all, it should be a great day of brews, food, and fun!

Admission to the event is free. The food and beverage offerings are reasonably priced. The weather forecast is calling for a perfect, warm early fall day. The music will be great. The brats will be tasty. The beer will be flowing. We definitely are looking forward to celebrating DOGtober with you!

All food and beverage is purchased using tokens, purchased onsite the day of the event. Cash and credit cards will be accepted at the token booth. Beer tastings require the purchase of a DOGtober Beer Fest commemorative pint glass, which is available for $5. Tokens are worth $1 each. Beer tastings start at just 1 token. Our food menu is available for 4-6 tokens each.

To make it easier, we are selling a couple of different starter packages. The standard Starter Pack includes 30 tokens and the commemorative pint glass for $33, a savings of $2 over purchasing the items separately. A very popular option for a couple is to buy a starter pack to share and an extra pint glass!

The Deluxe Starter Pack which includes a festival t-shirt, a DOGtober tasting pint glass and 30 tokens for as low as $46, a savings of $4 over buying the pieces separately. We also offer sell token refills if you run low on tokens for tasting the brews.

Coupons, discounts, Rewards Cards, and gift cards are not valid for the outdoor event. Tokens purchased outside are also honored inside on 9/24/11 for those that wish to also enjoy other menu favorites. Outdoor festival sales include Nevada sales tax.

At its core, the DOGtober Beer Fest & Brat Party is a good, old-fashioned Oktoberfest celebration. Nothing says Oktoberfest better than brats and beer!

Rock & Roll...With Rhapsody in Blues
If the great food and beer selection doesn't get you excited, then our free concert surely should! We'll be hosting the very talented "Rhapsody in Blues" as they serve as the official DOGtober house band! You very well might remember these guys from the epic "Just the Tip!" after parties at some of our previous festivals. Even if you can't remember those nights (Who could blame you?), you will quickly fall in love with these incredible musicians.

The band starts playing at 5 pm and will play for the remainder of the festival.
