October is upon us already, which means it’s time to toast fall German style. Check out these Oktoberfest deals around town, and get your beer on!
Over at SCHMIDT’S in the Mission, you’ll find a bunch of special eating and drinking options from October 1st-31st. They’ll be serving five special Märzen beers over the course of the month, or you can check out an Oktoberfest beer flight with three different beers plus a pretzel roll and a side of German mustard for $14. In addition to their regular menu options, there will be sausage sampler plates to go along with your beers. For $18, check out the plate with three sausages, or for $24, you’ll get five different sausages. Both plates include potato salad, sauerkraut, and mustard. They’re open for dinner Sun-Mon 5pm-10pm and Tue-Sat 5pm-11pm. Happy hour is 5pm-7pm every day and brunch is 11am-3pm Sat-Sun. 2500 Folsom St. at 20th St., 415-401-0200.
If a party is more your style, the ~PRESIDIO SOCIAL CLUB~ has you covered. On Sunday September 30th, they’ll be throwing a Bavarian-style fest of their own on their hopefully sunny back deck (stay away, Karl the fog!)), with sausage samplers and German beers. Sausage plates with three links and a pint of beer will be available for $10 during the party, which will be from 11am-7pm. You’ll also find sausage plates in addition to the regular menu during the month of October. The party will be the kickoff for this month’s Sunday Supper series, which will feature a whole roasted pig with braised red cabbage and German-style potatoes, plus apple strudel to finish. The suppers will start at 5pm every Sunday in October and cost $35 per person.
For more sausage and beer offerings, you can hit up ~JASPER’S CORNER TAP~ for a special Oktoberfest sampler plate with spicy beer sausage, whiskey fennel sausage, two mustards, and a pretzel with smoked cheese fondue. The plate comes paired with Paulaner Oktoberfest Märzen beer for $19, or you can get the plate solo for $14 or the beer solo for $7. The sampler plate will be available from now until the end of October, during lunch and dinner. Lunch is every day from 11am-5pm, and dinner is Sun-Wed 5pm-10pm and Thu-Sat 5pm-11pm.
