A celebration? And beer also plays a role? Wasn’t there something else? Correct: The Oktoberfest of the century has been over since this Tuesday, and that is perhaps one of the reasons why Haderner Brewery next weekend with hard work Pumpkin festival celebrates. “After the Oktoberfest we will continue with good beer and delicacies,” we promise Martha and Thomas Girg, the owners of Munich’s first organic and second largest district brewery after Giesinger. At their brewery site on Großhaderner Straße they invite you to have a morning pint and take a brewery tour, for which you have to make a reservation (although there are still places available on Saturday). But there are also a lot of things you can try spontaneously. For example, in the Kleiner Brauhaus there are culinary delicacies such as pumpkin soup, suckling pig on a spit, cream pastries, coffee and cake or of course the freshly brewed organic Märzen beer. You can purchase selected organic and regional products in the adjacent farm shop, and throughout October you can also purchase the in-house bock beer here with a 20 percent discount. New on the brewery site is a gin bar “with handmade gin cocktails”. It wouldn’t go particularly well with the organic image if it were prepared using a gin machine (Pumpkin Festival 2023, free entry, Kleines Brauhaus, Haderner Organic Brewery, Großhaderner Straße 56 a, October 7th and 8th, Saturday, 10 a.m. – 8 p.m., Sunday, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., www.haderner.de).
For 20 years there was a club for all friends of the dark in the Westend Nerodom. The sounds played here ranged from dark metal to gothic rock and occasionally even medieval music. In this respect, it’s actually quite fitting that the Nerodom’s premises at Ganghoferstrasse 74 are now in place Knight Lancelot moves in. A restaurant where groups can now experience a medieval meal accompanied by games and singing, a six-course dinner show, and there is space for 230 people. The concept is similar to the previous ones Welser cake under the Feldherrnhalle, which had to move out of there in 2019 because the state palaces and lakes administration wants to renovate the historic building. The knight Lancelot from Schwanthalerhöhe is called Christian Sorejevic and is the son of the former managing director of Welser Kuche, Ludwig Sorejevic. Experience in event catering already runs in the family (Ritter Lancelot, Ganghoferstraße 74, expected to open at the end of October, www.ritterlancelot.de).
