Come experience an event that Austin Monthly magazine deemed to be one of the best things to do during the summer in Austin! Set on Lady Bird Lake on the river boat Pride & Joy, Bats & Beers aims to connect brewmasters, chefs and engaged Austinites to explore creations and collaborations centered around remarkable beer and food.

This special edition of Bats & Beers is back on the boat for an Oktoberfest you'll never forget!

German beer is a must for an Oktoberfest party, and Guadalupe Brewing of New Braunfels has created two special German beers specifically for this occasion. Creating enticing food dishes to match will be Banger's Sausage House, purveyors of everything sausage. Come board this unique beer and food culinary adventure and let your taste buds explore the possibilities while the beautiful downtown Austin skyline sparkles around you.
