Schell’s Bock Fest

By on January 20, 2010in beer events, brewpubs

Schell’s is hosting their 24th Annual Bock Fest on 2/13 (11-4:30).  The event is held on the brewery grounds and will be outside, so be sure to bring your own firewood and 50 gallon drum to keep warm.  Anecdotally, the event is a helluva good time, but crowded.

On a related note, I received a e-mail stating that The Herkimer is going to be running two buses to Bock Fest again this year.  I’ve been told that they do a fine job.  $60 per person gets you breakfast at The Herkimer starting at 7:30 (but not entry into Bock Fest – that is a separate $5 fee).  The buses depart at 8:30.  Space is limited.  Sign-up at the bar.
