Alternative Oktober Fest is happening again from 5 - 8 October! A delectable line up of dark beers and food pairings!
This is Oktober Fest The Dodo way so of course there’ll be dark beers galore on cask, keg and in bottles / cans with an exciting and very scrumptious food pairing line up!
THURSDAY 5 OCTOBER
Curry Puffs from Eat With Fish! Rich pastry parcels filled with perfectly Thai spiced curry! There’s beef panaeng or vegan potato. Quite possibly my new favourite snack for beer! Flavours are explosively exciting for such a little package of joy!
Obviously perfect with dark beer!
FRIDAY 6 OCTOBER
Doughnuts from Little Pudding! You know the drill by now, it’s an indulgent, absolutely heavenly pairing!
Doughnuts and dark beer! What’s not to like? Maple Pecan and Chocolate Biscoff on offer!
saturday 7 OCTOBER
Blue cheese pairing tasters because it’s the only pairing that could possibly follow curry puffs and doughnuts!
The salty, umami flavours of the blue cheese selection with a luxurious, sweet stout is a match made in heaven - FACT!
SUNDAY 9 OCTOBER
10% off cask dark beer and hopefully there’ll still be some blue cheese left to make tasters available.
