Come in your dirndl and lederhosen because Beachhouse at the Moana is giving diners a taste of Bavaria with an Oktoberfest Feast on Friday, October 4. The popular Pairings dinner series at the culinary landmark at the Moana Surfrider is pairing the cuisine of Chef de Cuisine Colin Sato and select beers from Dave Power, Southern Wine & Spirits Beer Specialist to feature a feast in the great tradition of Oktoberfest.

The Oktoberfest feast begins with a couple of courses served dim sum style – a curated collection of delectable small bites.  A cheese intermezzo follows and slows down the meal as Sato prepares to treat his guests to a main course served family style and carved tableside.   Pastry Chef Carmen Montejo completes the feast with a decadent chocolate dessert.  Sato hopes to encourage mingling and casual conversation as guests enjoy a night of feasting and camaraderie.

“I love how Chef Colin has taken some great Bavarian staples and applied his palate and a couple of creative techniques and ideas to curate this feast” says Powers.  “In Germany, beer is meant to be paired with food and shared with friends.  I’m excited to share great beers from Germany and around the world with our guests.  There will be something for everyone.”
