The Durban Bierfest 2012

Durban_Bierfest_November_2012

For the first time in Durban and modelled on the world-renowned ‘Oktoberfest’, Bierfest seeks to emulate the nostalgic “super event” providing an unparalled opportunity to enjoy traditional Bavarian fare and festivities. From 16-18 November, the 2 500-seater Bavarian Brauhaus festooned with German-inspired décor will make Suncoast its home. Revelers will be served in traditional style, to the sounds of an Oompah band, by costumed fräuleins, bearing fistfuls of beer steins to wash down authentic Bavarian food like Eisbein, German sausages, pickles, pretzels and Sauerkraut.   Tickets are R70 per person, and individuals can purchase unreserved seating or reserved seating from iTickets.
