PHOTOS: Brauhaus Schmitz celebrates Oktoberfest 2016

On Saturday, Sept. 17, local restaurant and beer hall, Brauhaus Schmitz, celebrated Oktoberfest for the eighth year in a row on South Street. At 2 p.m. the keg was “tapped” by owner Doug Hager, which officially kicked off the celebrations. Guests drank boot steins filled with beer and munched on Bavarian favorites like pretzels and sausages — dining at picnic tables underneath a massive tent that ran from 7th to 8th Streets.
