Strap on your lederhosen and polka your way down to the Concord Co-op for a special Octoberfest tasting of soup and stews, local and craft brews, bratwurst and fresh-baked bread on Oct. 20 from 6 to 8 p.m.
The Celery Stick Cafe chefs will cook up more than 25 of their customers' favorite soups, stews and chili for sampling. These satisfying soups, as well as the fresh-baked white bread, are made from scratch with all-natural ingredients. Vegetarians and carnivores alike will enjoy the variety, which includes such delights as lobster stew, smoked trout and corn chowder, autumn bisque, chicken lemongrass, black bean, sweet potato leek, charred tomato and roasted red pepper, strawberry soup and the Cafe's famous chocolate soup. Several types of all-natural sausage and fresh-baked bakery bread will accompany the soup.
A wide variety of beer will be available to taste; many of them are brewed right in New England. Selected imports will also be sampled. Everyone is invited to listen to live polka music from the Ed Chenoweth Alpiner Band, sip and munch on delicious samples, and connect with the community.
This third annual event attracts up to 1,000 people downtown each year! The event is free and open to the public; however, the Co-op asks all attendees bring or buy a can of soup to donate to the New Hampshire Food Bank. No reservations required. Just stop by!
