Getting together for a stein-raising, pretzel-eating beer and food gathering is one of the annual pleasures of autumn. Just because traditional German Oktoberfest fare can be heavy and rich, this seasonal celebration doesn’t have to be. Try our modern, harvest-inspired Ontario menu with local craft beers made in the styles of their European cousins, or explore the robust legacy of German brewing and the wide range of brew styles it has inspired around the globe. Either way, a round of hearty Ein Prosit toasts is in order!
