“We are excited to host our second annual Oktoberfest celebration with representation from the best craft breweries in the area,” said Michael Carrino, chef and partner, Pig & Prince Restaurant & Gastrolounge. “Of the more than 40 craft beers that we carry in-house, 90 percent of our biggest sellers are from local breweries. We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate our second Oktoberfest than by hosting an event of this caliber featuring traditional German foods with some of the best craft beers around. Our goal is to be recognized as Montclair’s craft beer hub, and to host a marquee event that we can build on for years to come.”
