Sep 22, 2020 9:06 AM - Lake County's destination brewery, Buffalo Creek Brewing, is scaling back its annual Oktoberfest event amid Coronavirus concerns this year in favor of a subtler Oktoberfest-themed weekend, October 2 through 4. The all ages, family-friendly celebration will provide ample space for social distancing, with expansive indoor and outdoor areas that feature sprawling lawns and picnic tables, an oversized biergarten and tented pavilion, and different designated seating and gaming zones spread out over an acre. Owner/Brewmeister Mike Marr is hand-crafting a lineup of authentic German-style beers to complement three days dedicated to the Bavarian beer culture. "We're toning down the party atmosphere this year but not the party spirit, said Mike, who is still lanning on wearing his Lederhosen. Buffalo Creek Brewing complies with all COVID-19 health and safety standards to protect customers and staff including tables positioned at least 6-feet apart, the implementation of sanitation stations, throw away/contactless menus, and mandatory mask-wearing when not seated. -
