Capital Brewery and Bier Garten

🍻 A BIG thank you to everyone who joined us for our 6th Annual Oktoberfest!

Moving the celebration to a Sunday had us wondering what to expect, but you showed up ready to celebrate! With beautiful weather, great company, and excellent music from 2/5th Party Band, it turned into a fantastic day.

💪 The stein hoist competition brought some serious determination—and plenty of cheering! Join us in congratulating this year’s champions:

🏆 Women’s Division: Elizabeth Siercks defended her title with a time of 2:50—and was ready to keep going!

🏆 Men’s Division: Don Moxley took the win with an impressive time of 4:21! We missed seeing returning champion Eric this year and hope to welcome him back for another challenge.

🏆 Under 21 Division: Our newest division featured root b**r and plenty of competitive spirit! Elizabeth’s daughter, Annetta Siercks, carried on the family’s winning tradition with a time of 3:31!

Congratulations to our winners, and thank you to everyone who competed, cheered, and celebrated with us. We can’t wait to see you next year!

Prost! 🍻
