This weekend looks to be exciting. Saturday is the 10th Annual Bockfest over at Capital Brewery. The gates open at 11 and the taps start flowing an hour later. Brewmaster Kirby Nelson will bless this year's batch of Blonde Doppelbock at 12:30 and expect it to start flowing shortly thereafter. This will be out in the biergarten. The forecasted high tomorrow is around 30 with light snow of up to 2 inches in the afternoon. But fret not! Capital's Maibock will keep you warm until the Blonde's bung is tapped. The Teuton in me is looking forward to drinking beer outside as the snow falls. There's just something manly and rugged and Visigothy about the whole idea.
You might have to dig your car out Sunday morning as we're supposed to get several inches on Saturday night. On Sunday, take shelter from the storm at the Overture Center and enjoy International Fest which will feature food, music, dance, and whatever may happen when Swiss alphorns are in the same room as Ghananian dancers. The event lasts from 11-5 so check out the event schedule.
