To coincide with the annual Oktoberfest celebration in Munich, Germany, Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant will offer an exceptional menu of hearty Bavarian dishes that will be served at all eight restaurants from Friday, September 17 until Sunday October 3. Iron Hill’s Oktoberfest menu, which will be served in addition to the a la carte menu, will offer dishes with seasonal autumnal flavors and is an ideal accompaniment to its hand-crafted Oktoberfest beer.
“Every year, our chefs, brewers and especially our customers get excited for Oktoberfest, both for our special dishes and the release of our Fest beer,” says Director of Culinary Operations Kevin Davies. The robust Oktoberfest menu will include: Bavarian White Bean and Sausage Soup; Mesclun Salad with goat cheese, red beets, walnuts and sherry vinaigrette; Smoked Salmon with boursin cheese, cucumber-red onion salad, grilled flatbread and sweet mustard-dill sauce; Grilled Sausages, including bratwurst, knockwurst and garlic sausage with braised lentils and stone ground mustard; Jaeger Schnitzel, pan-fried, breaded veal cutlet with buttered egg noodles, haricots verts and hunter sauce; Sauteed Rainbow Trout with horseradish smashed potatoes, spinach, leeks, tomatoes, garlic and ale sauce; Sauerbraten-Style Top Sirloin Steak, marinated in red wine and served with ale-braised cabbage, spatzle and gingersnap gravy; Pan-Seared Salmon with sauerkraut-potato croquettes, buttery green beans and sweet mustard-dill sauce; Linzer Torte; and Apricot Frangipane with vanilla ice cream and cherry-kirsch sauce. Menu items range in price from $4.25 to $20.50.
In addition to their food offerings, the restaurant will serve their special Oktoberfest beer, a full-bodied amber lager with malty, bready aroma and a firm malt flavor, balanced with mild bitterness and a clean dry finish. It is a traditional German festival beer.
On October 1st (a First Friday), Downtown Phoenixville plans to host a day-long Oktoberfest celebration. Iron Hill will be serving up armfuls of delicious German beers, German specialty food items from bratwurst to Wiener Schnitzel al Holstein, some of Brick Oven’s fantastic bread, and authentic German polka music! Mark your calendar and wear your Lederhosen…and join in the fun.
According to Barry Cassidy of Main Street CDC, other local restaurants also plan to join in the fun: Bistro on Bridge, PJ Ryan’s and Molly Maguire’s will all be on the street as the 100 and 200 blocks of bridge are closed for this day of festivities. Look for announcements on other possible vendors to join in. German music, Oktoberfest beer and delicious german food will be served up to those in attendance for this First Friday celebration. Tents will abound downtown and this will be a rain or shine event.
