Payette Brewing Oktoberfest

Boise Mayor Dave Bieter will tap the first keg at this Oktoberfest. (Wearing lederhosen, right?) Long tables and German-themed decor will add cultural atmosphere to this indoor/outdoor bash at Payette’s new tap room and beer garden. Payette Oktoberfest Marzen Lager and German Hefeweizen will be served in 1-liter Payette-branded steins, which you buy for $10 (includes your first drink token). Lots of other Payette options will be available, too (but not for stein pours). Urban Smoke will sell brats and sauerkraut, and Acme Bakeshop will offer pretzels. A seven-piece brass polka band will crank tunes. 5 to 10 p.m. Sept. 16, Payette Brewing Co., 733 S. Pioneer St. Extra beer tokens are $5. All ages and dogs welcome.
