Join Robinson’s Rescue and Great Raft Brewing as we celebrate Dogtoberfest! It’s just like your traditional Bavarian Oktoberfest, but with dogs, which makes it even better and a whole lot more fun!
This year, we have partnered with Mahaffey Farms, Lowder Baking Company, and Bistro to Go to bring you the best that Northwest Louisiana has to offer, with signature Great Raft infused bratwursts, pretzel buns baked specially for Dogtoberfest, and all the fixings you could want. Add to that the delicious beer made in house at Great Raft Brewing at your fingertips, and Dogtoberfest leaves nothing to be desired.
This year we’re kicking it up a notch with live music from The Good News, and if you ask us, that’s some pretty great news!
Bring your friends and challenge them in the beer stein holding contest, or grab them for a funny photo Foster Orthodontics photo booth!
So get out your lederhosen and your alpenhut and come say “O’zapft is!” with Robinson’s Rescue!
The early bird gets the package deal! For a donation of $35.00, that includes a bratwurst plate, a beverage of your choice, and a special edition Robinson’s Rescue Dogtoberfest 2019 T-shirt to commemorate the event. This package will only be available until September 2, so get your tickets now to ensure the best deal, and to snag one of these awesome shirts. (They’re printed on that buttery soft tri-blend that Great Raft has been spoiling everyone with, so keep that in mind)
Join us on the 3rd Thursday of the month for a fun run at Great Raft Brewing. Run will be approximately 3 miles through the historic Highland neighborhood. Runners please arrive early so we can start the run by 6.
A portion of the sales from 6-9 will go to Robinson’s Rescue.
RSVP and invite your friends on Facebook.
Come What Mayhaw was the very first sour beer produced by Great Raft. It’s been three long years since, but on Saturday, September 21, Come What Mayhaw is back for a limited time.
This golden sour spent over a year in oak, then conditioned with 1200 lbs of mayhaws . The result is a fruit forward sourness, accented by balanced acidity from various bacteria and expressive oaky tannins.
750 ml bottles and draft will be available in the tasting room on Saturday, September 21st at 12 PM. Bottles are $20 and 10 oz draft pours are $5. No growlers. No samples.
What is a mayhaw? It’s a small, tart, berry-sized fruit that come from mayhaw trees grown in Southern bayous along the Texas / Louisiana / Arkansas border. They look similar to a cranberry and are usually fruity and tart. They are often too tart to eat raw, so many people use them to make jelly…or beer.
Food available from St. Laurent SHV from noon til 6. Then Sal’s pizzeria from 6 til 10.
