You may recall that the Grand Rapids Area Community Foundation (GRACF) began the Grand Rapids Oktoberfest tradition, by sponsoring and running an Oktoberfest celebration for a number of years. It began at the golf course, then was held for a few years at the Forest History Center, with about 500 people attending. The Boreal Brewers served homebrew at each History Center event, and our effort was popular enough that we had to ask for extra help to keep up with the pace of serving homebrew samples.
After 2016, GRACF had to end the volunteer-intensive effort. In 2017, the Boreal Brewers decided that we could not let the tradition end. We hosted Oktoberfest September 23rd, 2017 in the parking lot of what would become Klockow. We were back for the full event in 2018, and have been invited again for 2019.
