CITY OF DREAMS MANILA HOLDS
A ROCKIN’ OCTOBER BEER FESTIVAL
AT THE GRAND BALLROOM
It’s all about overflowing beer, authentic German delicacies, rollicking fun with friends, and rock bands during the third annual October Beer Festival at the Grand Ballroom of luxury integrated resort City of Dreams Manila on October 12 and 13, 7pm to 11pm.
Originally, the Oktoberfest is a celebration in honor of the wedding between Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen in October 1810, which became an annual German festivity. Nowadays, it has evolved to a global event with some countries adopting the merriment with a flair for local entertainment and culture.
Guests can immerse in the annual German Oktoberfest in the festive ambiance of City of Dreams Manila’s grand ballroom complete with colorful buntings, long wooden tables and benches; and indulge in a variety of beers such as Weihenstephaner from the oldest brewery in Germany and the world, Sapporo from Japan, Heineken from Netherlands and local beers San Miguel Pale Pilsen, San Miguel Light, and craft beer Pedro. Sodas and iced tea are also available. This assortment of beers and beverages complements the German gastronomic fare.
The Bavarian-style buffet indulges meat lovers with a live carving station of Spanferkel (roasted suckling pig), Schweinerollbraten in Biersoße mit gefülltem Wirsing (pork roll in beer sauce with stuffed savoy cabbage), Brathendl (German-style roast chicken), Grillhaxe (roast pork knuckle), Fleischkase (German meatloaf), and Bagger mit Apfelmus (potato pancakes with apple puree) with accompaniments of Bratkartoffein (sautéed potatoes with bacon and onions), Sauerkraut (braised white Cabbage), Rotkohl (braised red cabbage) and Kase Spatzle (handmade noodle drops with caramelized onions and cheese).
German food aficionados can also look forward to the scrumptious array of sausages and Bavarian specialties: Weisswurst (traditional Bavarian white sausage made of minced veal and pork back bacon; and flavored with parsley, lemon, mace, onions, ginger, and cardamom), Bratwurst (grilled German sausage of finely minced veal, beef, or pork), Nürnberger (pinkie-finger-sized bratwurst sausages), Knacker (short and stubby smoked sausage made of beef and flavored with garlic), Bockwurst (boiled Frankfurt sausage made from veal with some pork or other meats and flavored with salt, pepper, and paprika), Thuringer (famous and traditional German sausage with a recipe dating back to 1404, made of finely chopped lean pork from the shoulder or belly with some beef or veal, combined with garlic, cumin/caraway, marjoram, sometimes even coriander and nutmeg, and packed into hog or sheep casings) and Wiener Würstchen (Vienna sausage); Sauerbraten (vinegar marinated braised beef); and Wienerschnitzel mit Preiselbeeren (breaded veal escalope with lingonberry); paired with Zwiebelkuchen (german onion tarts) or a variety of breads and pretzels with butter.
