Austin, TX, February 03, 2018 --(PR.com)-- The Austin Saengerrunde and Scholz Garten are excited to partner with Foodways Texas for the return of the 2018 TX German Bier Fest. With winter coming to an end, Austinites can look forward to a celebration of spring and Texas-German culture with bier (beer) and brezel (pretzel) tastings, live music, and bowling on April 7, 2018. A limited number of early bird tickets are available for purchase now at www.TXGermanBierFest.com/tickets.
TX German Bier Fest will be showcasing German-styled bier from some of Texas' finest craft breweries including Alamo Beer Co., Austin Beerworks, The Austin Beer Garden Brewing Company, Big Bend Brewing Co., Circle Brewing Co., Hops & Grain Brewing, Karbach Brewing Co., Lazarus Brewing Co., Live Oak Brewing Company, Rentsch Brewery, Southern Heights Brewing Co., and Texas Beer Co.
Accompany the bier with another German tradition, the brezel, from top dough-maker’s in Central Texas such as Easy Tiger, Hi Hat Public House, Frank, and Scholz Garten. Bites can fall anywhere on the sweet-to-savory scale and feature anything from an original Bavarian recipe to a creative take on the old favorite.
Work off the biere and brezeln with unlimited bowling. Plus, Grammy award winning Brave Combo will bring the song and dance with their psychedelic polka.
Tickets include signature glassware, bier tastings, brezel bites, bowling, and a variety of flavored, sparkling water from Big Swig. Foodways Texas will receive a portion of the proceeds to preserve the vibrant history and food culture of Texas.

About Austin Saengerrunde & Scholz Garten:
In 1852, German settlers in the Austin, Texas area formed a traditional singing group. On February 8, 1879, they officially organized as a singing society bearing the name "Saengerrunde". The Saengerrunde is the oldest ethnic organization in Austin. Scholz Garten, established in 1866 by a German immigrant named August Scholz, became a favorite meeting place for Saengerrunde members. The Scholz Garten property, owned by Lemp Brewery of St. Louis, included a hall and bowling alley. In 1904, the Saengerrunde Club signed a lease with Lemp Brewery for the use of the property and in 1908, the club purchased the property. The facility has continued to provide an atmosphere that allows members to preserve and enjoy their German heritage.
