09/23/2023

Grab your lederhosen and take in the Germanic air in the Blue Ridge Mountains at this year’s beer-centric event. Hosted by Appalachian Mountain Brewery, which is celebrating its 10th birthday this year, expect plenty of holiday-themed snacks, games and live music, not to mention the ever popular stein-hoisting contest, a Bavarian strength competition to see who can hold a large mug of beer the longest. And yes, there’ll be plenty of beer. » Appalachian Mountain Brewery, 163 Boone Creek Dr.; Saturday, 1 p.m.-11 p.m.; (828) 263-1111; www.amb.beer
