Grizzly Peak and Blue Tractor to co-host Oktoberfest

Take a trip to Germany without the hefty airfare as Washington Street celebrates Oktoberfest. Local eateries/breweries Blue Tractor (207 E. Washington) and Grizzly Peak (120 W. Washington) collaborate to offer the tastes, sounds and revelry of the German festival from 6 p.m. to midnight on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 18-19.

A $5 cover that in part benefits U-M's Comprehensive Cancer Center gets admission to the event, which offers live music by a polka band, plus featured beer and traditional food.

On tap at the bar, Grizzly Peak pours Oktoberfest Lager and Grizzly Peak Ale, while Blue Tractor serves up Sudworth Bock and their own Oktoberfest Lager.

Meanwhile, the menu features bratwurst with Porter sauerkraut, mustard-glazed chicken breast on a kaiser roll, grilled vegetable skewers with caraway vinaigrette and roasted potato salad.

West Washington Street between Main and Ashley will be blocked off for the event.
