Rustico Presents: Novemberfest 2017
November 4, 2017 @ 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Join us on Saturday, November 4th, as Rustico hosts our 6th Annual Novemberfest celebration!
Our outdoor block party will be held from 12-5 PM and we will once again be featuring the very best of Virginia craft beer and cider, with 80 different selections on deck for Novemberfest 2017.
Beer Director Greg Engert is sourcing a lineup spanning an array of flavors and styles, with nearly 30 of the finest Virginia producers bringing their very best for this occasion. Expect strong stouts and potent porters, pumpkin ales and session brews, fresh-hop harvest ales, IPAs, sours and barrel-aged beauties. Once again, Greg is procuring beers from a dozen brewers rarely found in Northern Virginia–like The Veil, Pen Druid, The Answer, Triple Crossing, and Aslin!
The Rustico kitchen, led by Chef Aaron Wright, will be providing a menu of hearty dishes such as BBQ pork sandwiches, sausages, turkey legs, and more. Just like last year, wine lovers can enjoy choice selections from Virginia’s own Barboursville Vineyards. Local bluegrass bands will provide entertainment and plenty of games and activities will be on hand for the whole family.
WHERE:
Rustico at 827 Slaters Lane in Alexandria, VA 22314 (entrance to the event is in the parking lot directly behind the restaurant).
