(Fort Worth, TX) --- Brewmaster Jamie Fulton has announced that The Covey Restaurant & Brewery will host its second annual Covey Oktoberfest, bringing a taste of the historic festival to the Hulen Street restaurant on Friday, October 9, from 3:00 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. and Saturday, October 10, from 11:00 a.m. until 10:30 p.m.

   After a successful launch of Oktoberfest last year, Mr. Fulton will continue the restaurant’s Oktoberfest tradition during which ten percent of proceeds from the weekend go to First Command Educational Foundation (FCEF), a Fort Worth-based non-profit that promotes education through scholarships and financial literacy programs across the country. FCEF will use the funds donated from this event to award scholarships exclusively in the Fort Worth community.

    The weekend will feature a special Oktoberfest buffet for guests to sample Bavarian classics including assorted fresh Pumpernickel and Rye breads, German coleslaw, German potato salad, pickled beets, braised red cabbage, bier bratwurst, knackwurst and sauerkraut, wiener schnitzel, beer glazed pork hocks, and Black Forest cake. The buffet is $15.00 (beverages are not included).

    This local brewmaster is making his own history too, by bringing home medals from across the world for his hand-crafted brews, including the 2008 World Beer Cup® Gold Medal Champion (Vienna-Style Lager category), Vienna Lager.
