Truck Yard Dallas and The Colony, who are known for their off-beat event program is hosting their inaugural Trucktoberfest! Thousands of guests join each of Truck Yard’s events, get dressed up in “spirit” and can’t wait to return each year for traditions like coconut cracking & fire dancers at the annual luau and boozy watermelon kegs at the redneck carnival.
Trucktoberfest will feature a lively line-up of adult, kid, and dog-friendly activities such as a Stein Holding Contest and Wiener Dog Race. Many revelers proudly don the traditional Lederhosen and Dirndl. And in keeping true to tradition, locally loved Brew Boss Dennis Wehrmann is tapping his great grandfather’s 200-year-old keg of Truck Yard’s “Trucktoberfest” brew. Signature activities include:
- Stein Holding Contest
- Wiener Dog Race
- Yodeling Competition
- Pretzel-Eating Contest
- Oktoberfest Beer Keg Tapping by Dennis Wehrmann, Beer Boss
“I’m excited to tap one of my personal 30-liter Oktoberfest kegs! Sharing this great tradition with Truck Yard is a great honor for me.” Dennis Wehrmann, Beer Boss
“The outdoor beer garden style setting at Truck Yard is the perfect environment to enjoy something so special.” Dennis Wehrmann, Beer Boss
“The 200-year-old keg came from my great grandfather’s brewery in Germany. It was made with authentic German hops and lager yeast, which are not available in the US and brewed true to tradition. Enjoying beer that’s un-Americanized, like Oktoberfest, alongside the great local beers being served at the event will definitely be one of the great moments of my career.” Dennis Wehrmann, Beer Boss
Please let me know if you and a guest would like to visit Truck Yard during Trucktoberfest or before. Come check out the place, have a beer (or cocktail), and one of our almost world-famous cheesesteaks inside “Steak Me Home Tonight”.
