Yes, Oktoberfest on the AT!
For the month of October you can buy beer right ON THE AT! Sponsored by Becks beer at Bear Mountain State Park the AT goes straight through an Oktoberfest celebration. They’ve got a polka band, taste German cuisine, and BEER!!
This was a delightful surprise last weekend at the middle of my day hike. I was hungry. I wanted something more than trail mix and clif bars. After crossing the Hudson River and entering Bear Mountain State Park I was seeing lots of people. I though, hmm this is a very popular park. Then I saw the tents selling bric-a-brac. Then I hear the polka music. Then several people walked by with beer steins and big smiles. I laughed and walked strait to the food tents and ate a hearty meal of bratwurst, pierogis, and sweet pickled hot red cabbage, and washed it all down with Beck’s Oktoberfest Brew. Excellent!
OKTOBERFEST 2006 with music, dancing, food, vendors, and more!
