Thanks. I have no idea what I will find, as I've never been there.
When I was in college, I often played at parties at Pearl and Lone Star breweries, but there was no sales. The beer was free, promotional to groups in the area. The laws were considerably different 50 years ago as well.
Dare I call and ask?

Last night I filled in with a band at the Octoberfest at Alamo Brewery in San Antonio.
First of all, the beer I had was indeed excellent

I didn't sample all the varieties offered, but the one I did try was splendid.
A capacity crowd showed up, very enthusiastic. Tonight portends even bigger and better.
There is a red 51% sign in the beer hall.
Eat before you come. There are hot dogs, brats, sauerkraut, red cabbage and pork plate for sale from caterers, but, well, eat before you come.

If they've got any of their Oktoberfest left, you should grab one. One of the better examples of the style made in Texas.

I'll take you up on that. I'm the old fat man on supplemental oxygen playing tuba.
