All aboard the Oktoberfest Beer Train featuring Whitestone Brewery and Flying Pig Provisions! The train can’t quite make the trip to Germany, so we are bringing a taste of Bavaria to you—right here in the Texas Hill Country. Your ticket includes a “Willkommen” beer, salted pretzels, train trivia, beer stein holding contest, and live music! Beer stein holding contest includes a $200 cash prize and VIP pack from Whitestone for the winner. Don a dirndl, grab a stein, and hop on board!
Cash bar, 21 and up only.
