Solomons, MD, October 13, 2021: Join No Thyme to Cook (NTTC) on Saturday, October 23, 2021, for its first-ever Oktoberfest.

At NTTC’s Oktoberfest, guests will be able to enjoy seasonal beers from a variety of local breweries: Mully’s, Scorpion, Gypsy, and Greenspring breweries all will be in attendance. Barr Hill Gin also will be providing honey-based spirits, and our very own bar will be offering an assortment of beers. To add to the fun, Steamers will provide a festive menu of brats, soft pretzels, beer cheese, and hot dogs along with perennial local favorites—crab balls, fried shrimp baskets, French fries, and hush puppies. Southern Maryland Bake House will serve up mouth-watering desserts, while Calvert Kettle Corn be available at the bar.
Complimenting the drinks and food will be an afternoon of free beer-themed cooking classes. Games, such as a stein holding competition and a costume contest will crown Mr. and Mrs. Oktoberfest.
