It’s no coincidence that in the world of beer, good things come in sixes. It’s why we have the six-pack and why the TOPS at SPAR Bierfest celebrates its sixth year in existence as SA’s favourite proudly national annual touring festival of Bavarian bier culture! With a brand new venue, refreshed festival layout and a richly expanded entertainment programme, TOPS at SPAR Bierfest 2016 invites you to get in touch with your inner Germaniac, lug on the lederhosen, dust off the dirndls and get ready to party with added oompah at Sibaya, from Friday the 30th of September to Saturday the 1st of October.

The TOPS at SPAR Bierfest bring its barrels of beautiful bier to Sibaya. Whether you’re eighteen or eighty, whether you’re a loslappie or a Heidi wannabe, the TOPS at SPAR Bierfest brings together the best elements of the legendary Bavarian Oktoberfest in a uniquely South African setting. Amidst a menu packed with traditional Bavarian foods will again be the legendary 1 litre (half-litre for the ladies) steins of freshly-brewed Bavarian recipe craft biers, traditional Oktoberfest games, on-the- spot competitions, oompah music, party pop rock favourites and of course, a chance to win a trip to the actual Oktoberfest in Munich 2017 in the offering.

As with all its events, the TOPS at SPAR Bierfest supports responsible drinking and will have a range of options on hand to make getting home safe after a few drinks the most hassle-free and affordable experience it can be. #DrinkSmart!

I have been a head fraulein at this event for 4 years and have travelled with the band and the bier! However, have never had the opportunity to be on this side of bier served. It would be nice to let my braids down and to let loose a little along with family and friends!

I cant remember when last we spent time with friends, drank the night away and just social. This would be a perfect way to catch up with friends and celebrate my husband bday #im_A_Durbanite #bier_FEST crossing fingers

My two sisters have both had babies recently and i would love to take them and their long suffering hubbies out for a child free booze up, i think they really deserve it after giving up alcohol for the pregnancies and early months, lots of catching up to do. And who knows, maybe after dressing up and a few beers they might get some siblings for their little ones!

There the 7 of us sat, at a pub table, commencing our first Gentlemen’s Hunters and Diners Club meeting. The minutes book was out and beers were handsomely brim-filled. Amongst the mindless banter and BS, some business was discussed. Our first project was a beer pong table which we handcrafted in a garage and so dearly named ‘Beirut’ (apparently this was a foreign language term for beer pong). And so, the Beirut Beer Sessions were born. We now had the table and troops, all we needed was our own beer. The crew headed to the local home brewing outlet and purchased our first (“first”) home brewing kit. Needless to say, our next gentlemen’s meeting was brought forward for some reason… The gents rocked up to an evening of beer making, boerie rolls, 80’s TV games and some other locally made beer that would no longer be drunk once our brew had seduced us. The Beirut Beer Sessions were under way and our self indulgent evening of manly activities were not without some well thought out production line techniques. The beers were bottled by each hand of a fellow brewmaster and put away in the naughty corner to fester until they were ready for their judgement day. Our annual Christmas Party was on the rise and as attendees, we thought it fitting to proudly unveil our newborn brew to the masses (well, ourselves). Labels were made and an unsuspecting little bar fridge was packed to the rafters with all 68 bottles – with a red ribbon and bow. The day was upon us and we all huddled around the fridge. An unwarranted speech was attempted as the gents salivated and urged for the bow to be cut and fridge to be opened. It is at this point that most of us were praying that our first brew be somewhat bearable and not punish us with a lifetime of food poisoning (I mean, if the beer had some flavour and was mildly enjoyable, we would be over the moon). Alas, the beer was sensational! I could go so far to say that it was comparable to a foreignly brewed beer that rhymes with Lion King. There was some discussion and judgement on it’s low alcohol percentage, however, the opinions of the sceptics were corrected once they had had their second beer. Unfortunately, no close friends or family got to share in our experience as we all quite comfortably and happily drained the fruits of our labour. Of course, the evening could only have been completed with the addition of a beer pong table, which conveniently had been lurking in the garage.

That very first beer was a Munich Lager: something that is clearly synonymous with the original Oktoberfest.
Please grant us the pleasure of reminiscing this great tale with our plus ones this coming TOPS at SPAR Bierfest!

Cheers!
The Beirut Brewers

We’ve gone every year with the same group of friends and this is the last year that we’ll be able to celebrate together as a few of our close friends are moving to the UK. Please let us celebrate the good old times together, one last time! 🙂
