There are certain places that you avoid as a Vegan… places
that focus on faces. For that reason I’ve never been to Animal, my friend
Adam’s place Dog Haus, and can never be a fan of southern cooking (bacon, bacon,
and more bacon). But things are about to change for one upcoming German
Holiday… Edible Skinny is excited to announce the World’s First Vegan Oktoberfest in
Santa Monica on October 4 from 12pm-6pm.
Nestled next the beaches of
SoCal, Vegan Oktoberfest will
recreate the feel of a genuine German beer hall featuring live Oompah bands,
Bavarian maidens, and of course, refreshing and delicious vegan craft beer
poured to perfection by dozens of great breweries. Vegan Oktoberfest,
which can accommodate 3,200 guests, will provide attendees a traditional taste
of Germany with a vegan twist; for an authentic Oktoberfest experience with a
clear conscience.
Guests will be provided a beer stein with admission to be
used for their beer(s) of choice all day with unlimited refills. Participating
breweries include: Sierra Nevada, Venice Duck Brewery, Four Sons Brewery, Karl
Strauss, Eel River, Ace Ciders, Epic Brewing, Modern Times, Bison Organic Beer,
Oskar Blues, Drake’s, Coronado Brewing, Angel City, Golden Road, Anderson
Valley, Saint Archer, Bravery, Lagunitas, Hangar 24, and more to come!
And rest assured, there will be gluten free beer and cider available for the
Celiacs.
Participating food vendors include many of LA’s most
acclaimed vegan restaurants such as
Sage Organic Bistro who will prepare potato pancakes, cauliflower hot
wings, and German style soft pretzels, Southern
Fried Vegan will offer Fried Chickun and Mac N’ Cheeze, while Urban Pie will delight with sausage and
potato pizzas. Other food offerings include: Rabbit Hole Cafe,
Babycakes, The Grilled Cheese Truck, Tofurky, The Ridiculous Baker, Beyond
Meat, Dogtown Dogs, Kind Kreme, The Green Truck, Broke Hungry Vegan, Pop ‘n
Mamas Kettle Corn and Funnel Cake, and Life Is Sweet Bake Shop.
Red Pill Productions LLC, a company founded by Los Angeles
animal rights attorneys David Edward Burke and Jill Ryther will be producing
the ‘cruelty-free’ event. Vegan Oktoberfest will also benefit a good cause, with a portion of the
proceeds going to Expand
Animal Rights Now, an organization dedicated to using the legal
system to help animals.
“Vegan Oktoberfest will be a festive, authentic, and social
atmosphere that makes the bar scene seem dull by comparison,” says Burke.
“There’s no reason an event can’t be both outrageously fun and animal
friendly.”
Tickets are currently for sale and are $40 for General
Admission, $55 for VIP admission, which grants entrance an hour early and
