OCTOBERFEST // BARRELS & FOOD
Roll Out the Barrels
If you can’t find a beer you like at Octoberfest, you’re not looking hard enough
Like its German cousin, Appleton’s
Octoberfest is a bacchanalian celebration
of beer and the 2015 event promises not
to disappoint even the most ardent beer
connoisseur.
According to Tricia Schwartz, market-
ing manager for Wisconsin Distributors,
“Octoberfest will feature nine different
craft beers embracing a wide variety of beer
styles from a Belgian unfiltered wheat, and
an amber ale to traditional Oktoberfest
marzens, as well IPAs and porters.”
Craft beer central for Octoberfest will
be the specialty bar at Oneida Street, where
all of the featured beers will be available.
In addition, Spaten Oktoberfest will be
available at all beer stands along College
Avenue.
Spaten Oktoberfest was the first beer
served at Munich’s Oktoberfest in 1872,
according to Schwartz, and since 1950
has been the first beer tapped as part of
ceremonial keg tapping by the mayor of
Munich to kick off Germany’s Oktoberfest
celebrations.
“This year, Appleton’s Octoberfest will
emulate the tradition,” Schwartz said “as
Appleton Mayor Tim Hanna will tap a
keg of Spaten Oktoberfest to initiate the
festivities.”
Last year’s featured beer, Wisconsin
Brewing Company’s Magic Marzeniac, will
be back for a return engagement under a
new name – Patron Saint.
“Last year Wisconsin Brewing Com-
pany brewed Magic Marzeniac,” Schwartz
said “an Oktoberfest style marzen, specifi-
cally for Appleton’s Octoberfest event. The
beer was only available in Appleton and
was so well received that the brewery
decided to introduce the brand under a
new moniker in 2015 as part of their In &
Out series.”
Wisconsin Brewing Company Brew-
master Kirby Nelson notes that “the
Appleton response to Magic Marzeniac
was so encouraging that we felt we had to
make it one of our In & Out brands.”
Other beer palate pleasers will also be
back.
“Belgian-style unfiltered wheat Shock
Top and New Belgium Brewing Company’s
Fat Tire Amber Ale,” Schwartz said “and
Pumpkick are not new to the event, but
have always been crowd favorites. Redhook
Out of Your Gourd Pumpkin Porter was
available last year and features a combina-
tion of pumpkin puree, nutmeg, ginger
and maple syrup.”
As always, Wisconsin Distributors, the
exclusive beverage distributor for October-
fest, aims to bring new varieties for beer
lovers to sample.
“New this year will be Pipeline Porter
from Kona Brewery in Hawaii,” Schwartz
says. “This beer highlights a marriage of a
blend of premium barely malts and a Kona
coffee. This is the first year we are offering
two different porter styles both with very
unique flavor profiles.”
While beers from afar are always a
highlight of the Octoberfest menu, the
event also features plenty of brews from
Wisconsin’s own rich brewing tradition.
Beers that are indigenous to Wisconsin
will be Patron Saint Oktoberfest, Yankee
Buzzard IPA and Inaugural Red Lager – all
brewed by Wisconsin Brewing Company
in Verona.
“Inaugural Red has an especially
intriguing back story,” Schwartz said
“blending elements of old-world brewing
tradition and a healthy dose of science. It
was a collaborative effort between Wiscon-
sin Brewing Company and the University
of Wisconsin Madison’s College of Agri-
cultural and Life Sciences. UW students
participated in a combination of lab-based
studies and real-world brewing experience,
including developing recipes and sourcing
ingredients in addition to brewing and the
actual beer.”
It’s not uncommon for individual craft
breweries to team up and create a collabo-
ration beer.
“But the unique partnership between
Wisconsin Brewing Company and UW,”
Schwartz said “makes this beer something
special and it’s really exciting for us to be
able to offer it at Octoberfest.”
As always, there will be a formidable
assortment of ales, porters, IPAs, lagers and
other amber nectars on tap at Octoberfest,
so beer aficionados only need to belly up to
the bar to quench their thirst and feed their
passion.
Just try to walk away from Appleton’s
Octoberfest hungry. It’s not going to
happen.
There will be 100 different food ven-
dors lining College Avenue, with choices
ranging from finger foods to sandwiches
and burgers to funnel cakes and bakery to
ethnic foods of all varieties.
And while you’re satisfying your foodie
cravings, know that all the food booths are
staffed by local nonprofit organizations,
which use the money generated to fund
their community support projects and ser-
vices throughout the year. The list of orga-
nizations staffing food booths includes the
Boy Scouts, Girls Scouts, church groups,
food pantries, youth sports organizations,
and Boys & Girls Clubs.
“Anecdotally, I’ve heard from many
food vendors that Octoberfest is one of, if
not the largest, fundraiser they have each
year,” says Amy Flanders, Octoberfest
Managing Director and Vice President of
Administration & Operations for the Fox
Cities Chamber of Commerce.
Here’s just a partial list of the food
goodies that will be on hand at October-
fest:
Hamburgers, brats, hot dogs, frozen
chocolate covered cheese cake, tacos,
nachos, pizza, deep-fried cheese curds,
egg rolls, stuffed chicken wings, crab
rangoon, pulled pork sandwiches, Cuban
sandwiches, empanadas, corn dogs, bacon,
calzones, deep-fried pickles, funnel cakes,
cheesecake on a stick, grilled cheese sand-
wiches, steak sandwiches, spaghetti and
meatball on a stick, hot beef sandwiches,
ice cream, root beer floats, pastries, cream
puffs, jambalaya and gyros.
“The food is one of the main reasons
Octoberfest is such a special event and a
one-of-a-kind event,” Flanders says. “You
get to sample a wide range of cuisines from
all over the world and feel good about sup-
porting local nonprofit organizations at the
same time. This event is perfect for foodies
everywhere.”

OCTOBERFEST // MELODIC CONVERGENCE
Appleton’s Octoberfest music extrava-
ganza begins Friday night, along with the
License to Cruise classic car show, and
kicks into high gear on Saturday morning
when the 484th Army Band Ensemble and
the Bobby Evans Band take the stage at 9
a.m., and it doesn’t wind down until the
last bands wrap up at 5:30 p.m.
This year’s lineup includes many favor-
ites from years past, including Vic Ferrari,
the Doo-Wop Daddies, Copper Box, Boogie
& the Yo-Yoz and Road Trip. It also features
four new acts – Too White Crew, Christo-
pher Gold, Daphni and Salsa Manzana.
“The new acts this year will satisfy a
diverse array of palates” says Eric Stadler,
Octoberfest’s Entertainment Chair. “The
entertainment is the most judged element
of Octoberfest. There is a cornucopia of
genres. We do our best to appeal to as
many of those as possible.”
Too White Crew is a six-piece tribute
band featuring 80’s and 90’s hip hop,
accompanied by the “Fly Girl” dancers.
Although TWC bills itself as a party band,
the group’s performance is packaged in a
family-friendly way. TWC has toured the
country since 2002 and has performed at
national events for Google, Microsoft, and
Anheuser-Busch.
Daphni, founded in 2010, is a Green
Bay-based alternative rock band that fea-
tures Miranda Freimuth on lead vocals.
The group is quickly making a name for
itself. Daphni was nominated for the
Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI)
Alternative Band of the Year in 2013 and
2014 and Freimuth was nominated for
WAMI’s 2014 Female Vocalist of the Year.
“Their show was high energy, musically
tight, and really pleased the diverse crowd
on the street. You do not have to worry
about what this band brings to any festival
or venue, because they will always deliver,”
said WAMI President James McMahon.
Christopher Gold has been well-known
for years in the Appleton area as a punk
rock performer, but these days he’s also
becoming something of a force in the
bluegrass and folk world. Born in Ken-
tucky but now based in Appleton, Gold is
a talented singer-songwriter and musician.
He recently released a bluegrass-infused
album, Don’t Get Lonesome.
Salsa Manzana is a 14-piece band based
in the Fox Cities – a blending of Lawrence
students and alumni, music teachers and
veteran local talent, all focused on a pas-
sion for salsa, mambo, cha-cha and Latin
jazz. The group’s bio says its members “try
to blend an authentic treatment of each
style, while staying approachable and fun
for our Wisconsin audience.” The name
Salsa Manzana represents the group’s focus
on salsa music and the Spanish word man-
zana, which means ‘apple.’
The Octoberfest Entertainment Com-
mittee takes its assignment very seriously.
“We have to consider what acts will
draw the biggest crowds. We also keep an
ear to the ground to find out what bands
are creating a buzz on the street,” Stadler
said. “While certainly a focal point for
the Octoberfest celebration, the music at
Octoberfest is secondary. The main mis-
sion of the event is to give the 100-plus
non-profits a venue to tell the community
who they are and raise funds to fulfill their
missions in the year ahead. We’ve built
strong relationships with many acts that
understand and value the mission of the
event.”
Melodic Convergence
With five stages featuring more than 20 acts, plus a bevy of street performers,
Octoberfest is bound to be a feast for the music lover’s ears

OCTOBERFEST // MOONSHINE
I
t used to be, you had to know a guy…..
Moonshining began very early in American history. Shortly
after the Revolution, the United States found itself struggling
to pay for the expense of fighting a long war. The solution was
to place a federal tax on liquors and spirits. The American people,
who had just fought a war to get out from under oppressive British
taxes (among other purposes), were not particularly pleased. So
they decided to just keep on making their own whisky, completely
ignoring the federal tax. And Moonshining was born!
For these early moonshiners, making and selling alcohol wasn't a
hobby or a way to make extra cash -- it was how they survived.
Farmers could survive a bad year by turning their corn into
profitable whisky, and the extra income made a harsh frontier
existence almost bearable. To them, paying the tax meant they
wouldn't be able to feed their families. Federal agents (called
"Revenuers") were attacked when they came around to collect
the tax, and several were tarred and feathered.
Moonshine is now legal in Wisconsin, although it may be a bit hard
to find. Troy and Lisa Reissmann, recently started their new shop in
Neenah. “The Shinery is NOT a bar, but the most unique and eclec-
tic gift store in Wisconsin.” John Maino NBC 26. They are more
than just moonshine, but there’s plenty of that. The Shinery boasts
nearly 50 different varieties of Shine. So why a moonshine gift
store? “We vacation in the fall in the mountains of Gatlinburg,”
mentioned Lisa. “Shops like ours are very common down there, so
we thought, why not start one here?”
The Shinery is located at 303 N Commercial Street in Neenah. In
this awesome looking rustic shop, you will find everything moon-
shine! From their growing inventory of moonshines that you can
actually try before you buy, to moonshine pickles, salsa and jerky.
There’s even moonshine candles, soaps and lotions. “We do sell
and allow samples of wine and beer, we even have our own self-
serving
growler
filler!” says
Troy, a for-
mer brew
master.
Each week
there is a
new, hard
to find
beer on
tap.
You can
sample up
to three
small shots of any moonshine they sell from 11 to 7 any day they
are open. Both the growler filling and moonshine sampling are
new laws in the state. “We acted on those laws quickly after they
passed and it’s really worked well at the store.” Lisa added.
Legendary Moonshiner, Tim Smith stopped at the store earlier this
year to the joy of many fans of the Discovery Channel hit show
Moonshiners. Tim signed bottles of his Climax Moonshine to a long
line of people down the street. “We plan on doing a lot of special
events like that.” Troy said. “You can even rent the place out for
what we call private shines.” Find out more on their website:
www.shineryneenah.com.
This is a gorgeous place, and the staff is fun and extremely helpful.
The Shinery is a must see in the area, there’s something for every-
one from good ol White Lightning to moonshine candy….

OCTOBERFEST // CRUISE PATROL
More than 400 classic cars will line
College Avenue on Friday, Sept. 25, from
6 to 9:30 p.m. in the License to Cruise
run-up to this year’s Octoberfest in
Appleton. Organizers estimate that more
than 50,000 people will walk the avenue
admiring the collection of cars parked
there by owners willing to share their trea-
sured muscle cars, street rods and other
classics.
This year’s featured car is the Volkswa-
gen, with models parked in front of City
Center Plaza.
Dan Hoeck is Chair of the License to
Cruise event and partner at Sola Salon in
Appleton and Green Bay.
“This is the first time that we have had
the feature car be of German heritage,”
Hoeck said “which ties in nicely with
the event. Because of the unique history
of Volkswagen and the variety of models
that have been produced we expect it to
be a very crowd-pleasing event. The fea-
ture cars are chosen each year based on a
significant event, we like to partner with
a local car club to coordinate the feature
car participation which helps that club’s
exposure through cross marketing efforts.
The feature cars assemble in their own pri-
vate area prior to the event and participa-
tion is open to all production years, unlike
the standard show vehicles that need to be
manufactured prior to 1980.”
Participation in the event is on a first-
come, first-served basis. Except for the
featured cars, vehicles begin assembling
by noon or so on north State Street and
south Drew Street. The processional onto
College Avenue begins at 4 p.m. and
continues until all the spots are taken.
Participants pay a $5 fee on entry.
Qualified cars include pre-1980
models with no visible primer or rust.
Participants must bring their vehicle reg-
istrations in case there is a question on the
year of the vehicle.
In addition to the classic cars, the
License to Cruise event will feature live
music from the Doo Wop Daddies in
Houdini Plaza, as well as street corner
performers. There will also be food ven-
dors on the avenue.
“Participants love the unique nature of
the show,” Hoeck said “and we strive to
be responsive to ideas that we are given by
our car owners as it is our goal to improve
the show every year. We expect in excess of
400 cars this year and anticipate that all of
our parking will be utilized, including our
overflow areas. From time to time, based
on the number of cars, unfortunately we
have to turn some participants away, but
our goal is to find a spot for everyone.”
The License to Cruise event has
become an increasingly popular part of
the Octoberfest weekend.
“Each year we have seen an increase
in the number of spectators,” Hoeck
said “and their comments center around
the fact that the show is a great family
experience. When you consider the sheer
numbers of cars, entertainment offerings,
and food choices available a fun evening
can be had by all.”
