1st Annual Smoketoberfest Hits the Northwest Suburbs on October 7
September 11, 2017
Grab your Lederhosen and head to Rack House’s 1st annual Smoketoberfest, inspired by the world’s most exciting German festival. The restaurant’s parking lot and Beer Garden will “haus” the most festive and authentic all-day Oktoberfest celebration this side of Munich on Saturday, October 7 from 1-5 p.m.
Rack House will be donating a portion of the proceeds from the event to the 100 Club of Chicago whose mission is to provide for the families of first responders who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
Smoketoberfest Details-
National Stein Hoisting Competition
Rack House has teamed up with Sam Adams to take part in their National Stein Hoisting Competition in search of “America’s Stein Hoister of the Year”. Entrants will compete by holding a liter stein filled with liquid by a straight ninety-degree arm. Once the entrants’ elbow bends, spills or drops the stein the entrant loses. One male and one female winner from Smoketoberfest will advance to the semi-finals in Grant Park, followed by the finals in Boston.

Revelers can say ‘prost’ with $5 draft and bottles of Sam Adams Oktoberfest, Two Brothers Atom Smasher, Pollyanna Brewing Company FruHauf and in honor of The 100 Club of Chicago, Main Street Brewing Off Duty Lager.
