Here at the tail-end of September, it’s the last week of the year to enjoy Oktoberfest celebrations. In celebration of the beloved Bavarian holiday, the Grapevine Vintage Railroad are deploying a special seasonal steam engine called the Oktoberfest Craft Brew Train, to take passengers on a special beer German Biergarten on wheels.
Grapevine Vintage Railroad is an historical, long-beloved railway that regularly hosts a wonderful series of train rides throughout the year – ranging from its Thomas the Tank Engine rides, to Trick R’ Treat Trains, and its most famous Santa’s North Pole Express; tickets for the latter, FYI, go on sale, Wednesday, October 1.
Departing this Friday, October 3, the railway will disembark its special Oktoberfest Craft Brew Train. Promoted as a German Biergarten on wheels, the train will be alive with the sights and sounds of Oktoberfest. Passengers can expect an array of German-style beers from Hop & Sting, including Local 3113 OktoberFest, Rheinhart Blonde Oktoberfest, Aluminum Cowboy, and Miracle Wheat.
Additionally, visitors can enjoy a smorgasboard of German cuisine. Served buffet-style, featured eats include Grobe Bratwurst served with sauerkraut and German mustard, brat buns, pretzels, as well as Apple Streusel for dessert…
