Copper & Kings hosted the 3rd Annual Butchertown Porktoberfest Friday, October 9. The event let guests taste local goodness and vote on their favorites. Despite the name, the offerings weren't all porcine, vegetarian options, side dishes and desserts were available.
Copper & Kings offered a couple signature cocktails while Apocalypse Brew Works poured a selection of their local brews. Relic’s bluegrass tunes paired perfectly with the different dishes, drinks and the delightful atmosphere that included a fire pit with circular stadium-like seating.
