Can't Make Oktoberfest? More Frothy Fall Travel

September 23, 2008 at 12:30 PM | 0 Comments

Boston beer drinkers may be stereotyped as a blue jeans-wearing, Sam Adams-swilling set, but there are plenty of folks in the town who know their way around a high-quality, cask-brewed ale.

Case in point: The Return of the Belgian Beer Fest, which comes to Boston this weekend. This festival is run by the hop experts at Beer Advocate, so you know it's not your run-of-the-mill drunken Oktoberfest imitation.

The premier happening is Friday's "Night of the Funk" event, featuring yeasty beers that have been spontaneously fermented via the open air. The strong, Belgian-style ales include locals like Cambridge Brewing Company's Funky Bitch and more exotic beers like Supplication from California's Russian River Brewing Company--a brown ale aged in Pinot Noir barrels.

The brews will be paired with tasty treats like Belgian mussels from Sunset Grill & Tap and sugary offerings from Sommerville's Waffle Haus.
