Halfway to Oktoberfest Celebration Promises 'Free Bier'

GLENDALE, WI -- Spring is here, and a local brewhaus in Milwaukee's North Shore is celebrating Oktoberfest in a way that's likely to please those who just can't wait the extra six months until actual Oktoberfest.

On Saturday, April 6, the Bavarian Bierhaus will open its doors at 10 a.m. for their "Halfway to Oktoberfest" event.
