OktoberForest'19
2019-08-31 12:00 - 18:00 | Apocalypse Ale Works, 1257 Burnbridge Road, Forest, VA, 24551, United States
Did you know the Oktoberfest tradition started in 1810 and at that time it took place during one week of October. Along the years, it was extended and the starting date was changed to September because the weather is warmer and more pleasing. Therefore, it’s easier to attract more visitors to stay even longer and enjoy the beer (and festival) throughout the night.
We can’t wait to celebrate with the release of our Oktoberfest as well as several other Oktoberfest variants! Grab your lederhosen, get ready to listen to some music and get our bierfest on!

The evening begins with a short presentation about Jefferson and his fascination with astronomy. Attendees will then move out to the South Lawn of Jefferson’s retreat home to look at the stars. If the weather cooperates, this is what we’re hoping to see:

Venus in a crescent phase
Jupiter with its four largest moons visible until one disappears behind the planet around 9 pm
First quarter moon, a little less than half illuminated
Saturn with its rings tilted for great visibility, and its largest moon Titan
Mars not long after its closest approach to Earth in several years
