Barks and Brews

Barks and Brews Oktoberfest celebration with local beer, dogs in costume, and a menu full of German favorites at the Brandywine River Museum of Art.

Dust off your lederhosen, dirndls and beer steins and head to the Brandywine for an outdoor Oktoberfest celebration in the Museum’s newly renovated courtyard. Family, friends, and canine companions are all welcome. Enjoy a selection of craft beers from 2SP Brewing Company; dine on a delectable menu of German-inspired fare by Chef Justin Rumsey, Executive Chef of the Brandywine’s Millstone Café; and tap your feet to live music by the Moondawgs. And speaking of dogs, be sure to bring your favorite pooch along for the fun—bonus barking points for Oktoberfest dog costumes!   

No reservations required. Food and drink will be available for purchase. Additional cost for Museum admission.

Please note: Dogs must be leashed at all times. Owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets. Dogs are welcome in the Museum’s courtyard, campus grounds and trails. Only service animals are permitted inside the Museum and its galleries.
