Border Brewing Co. celebrates Oktoberfest with a Kansas City tradition all its own: each spring, the brewery buries a stainless steel firkin of beer behind the taproom, where it ages underground through the summer. On September 27 at 5 PM, staff and guests dig it up together and tap it on the spot — no one knows exactly how it will taste until the first glass is poured.
The afternoon also features a limited-batch Festbier on tap, the golden, malt-forward lager style traditionally served at Munich's Oktoberfest, along with British street food from Brit Boy Street Food, offering fresh-made sausage rolls and meat pies. The full taproom menu and regular offerings will also be available throughout the event.
