In addition to the live music offered every night by bands direct from Germany and Austria, Hofbräuhaus Chicago will host special performances from The Muller Fasching Verein Nordamerika Inc., also known as the Milwaukee Mullers, Saturday, Feb. 15 from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. The Mullers are a non-profit organization with a passion for spreading their Tyrolean (Austrian) folk customs to the United States through dance. Donning hand-carved wooden masks and unique costumes, the group travels across the country to perform a story surrounding the four seasons.
To pair with its authentic German fare, Hofbräuhaus Chicago will welcome back its February seasonal brew, “Bockbier.” The dark, flavorful and malty beer will join the three beers brewed and offered year-round at Hofbräuhaus Chicago: Lager, Hefe Weizen and Dunkel. Hofbräuhaus will celebrate the arrival of “Bockbier” with a special “First Thirst-Day” keg tapping ceremony Thursday, Feb. 6 at 7 p.m. Hosted by Hofbräuhaus Chicago brewmaster Rob Hunter, guests of the event will receive free half-liter samples of the new brew along with brewery tours upon request.
