oktoberfest!

a couple months of idea-bouncing, craft making, beer-brewing, and recipe hunting resulted in our first annual oktoberfest. and let me humbly say that we were SO happy with the outcome. i can't even put into words how much of a success this gathering was, this past saturday. long hours the previous nights felt well worth it, once our transformed space was a flood of dancing, laughter, and deliciously crafted brews. 

hand-crafted beer flights.

eat, drink, be german! ;)

pfeffernuesse cookies, pre-powdered.

ninety bottles, six flavors, gone!

warm illuminations.

finished flights.

and finishing touches.

salley brother brews. six scrumptious unique beers, crafted and bottled with extra love.
