Cap City Oktoberfest
Fall is here, the weather is garbage outside, but that doesn’t have to mean you have to stay inside! Come on out to the Capital City Brewing Company‘s annual Oktoberfest in Shirlington on Saturday. Running from noon to 7pm, with an admission cost of $20, you’ll have all kinds of tasting options for excellent beer both imported and local.
