Icrontic’s First Annual Oktoberfest

Matt Lincoln Russell October 8, 2007 12:32 PM ET in Tech

Join us in Warren, MI for an Icrontic Oktoberfest at Brian’s house, aka IcronticHQ. Bring your own sleeping arrangement (cot, pad, blanket, etc) and, of course, beer. We may have a special gift in store for attendees as well.

Plan to visit Kuhnhenn’s Brewery and the Royal Oak Brewey during the weekend. The festivities will be November 1-4. Ask for directions if you need ‘em. Beer drinking not required if you’re underage or prefer to go dry!

    It may be fall, but I'll be in the house with Hoegaarden and Leinenkugel Summer Shandy -- my two favorites.

    Also, a trip to Royal Oak Brewery is in order.

    Very true sir! The Oktoberfest festivities are going on here now also. The original plan was in October, on Columbus day weekend, but that fell through. Besides I might actually arrive in October and have one before midnight

    Ok, those of you that are attending this Oktoberfest shindig.

    Do you all like spaghetti? I just spent the last 3 days concocting what I think is a pretty damn good sauce (you have to cook it slow )

    So what say thee? Shall I bring a pot over for this glorious event so we can have a spaghetti dinner one night?

    If its just your tastebuds, you will never notice them, they get cooked down and taste like sauce

    Seriously, as long as anybody isn't allergic, they are going in the sauce, you don't have to eat them

    I am going to do my damndest to make it up there. And by that I mean, I'm counting and measuring out my vacation days right now...

    I'll figure out what beer to bring shortly.
