Leamington's local independent brewing brought a taste of Munich to the town this weekend (20 September).

Windmill Hill Brewery's Munich Oktoberfest, which took place at the railway arches in South Leamington, was a huge success.

Emily Stewart-White brought her six-piece wunderbar Oompah band from the Band Factory, playing traditional Bavaria drinking songs and classic English sing-alongs...

Gav at Windmill Hill brewed a Weiss special, which went down well, along with beers from Weihenstepaner: Festbier & DunkelWeiss - the oldest brewery in the world! 

There were also freshly baked pretzels, BBQ authentic bratwurst from Rafal at 'Yummy Sausage'.

said: "So many people from came from all over Leamington, wearing lederhosen and Bavarian, the event was sold out! 

"It shows that people will come out, sing and dance when a venue makes an effort for an authentic beer festival. South Leam at its best!"

Gav, Bethan and Ben added: "If you liked Oktoberfest, look out for 'Frost The Rails' under the arches in November & December."

They said that this will be a boozy Winter Wonderland, where you can drink and be merry, soaking it all up with some seasonal street food and live music.
