OktoberFest, Oxnard

California Beer Festival's organizers put together celebrations of their favorite beverage throughout the year, always with an emphasis on craft beers in particular. On October 19th, they plan yet another showcase of artisanal brews in a time-honored style: Halloween Oktoberfest Brought to You by the California Beer Festival. Oktoberfests typically show off German-style beverages of a darker variety—thick brews that go down well on a chilly day. But if the organizers' past events are any indication, visitors can expect to choose from a variety of seasonal craft brews served in hearty steins.
