Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant Oktoberfest

Ready to get your German on? Got a hankering for some Huhner Schnitzel? Grab your stein and head for Iron Hill. Until October 30, enjoy a special food menu highlighting traditional Oktoberfest fare. And, of course, no Oktoberfest would be complete without a proper German beer. Iron Hill has produced a medium-bodied lager that has a wonderful sweet, malty and bready aroma and a firm malt flavor, balanced with mild bitterness and a clean dry finish.
