What a blast! Sponsored by Innovative Glass Solutions, the inaugural Barrington’s Oktoberfest, which took place on the final Saturday of the 2025 Plett Arts Festival, ticked every box and then some. Fabulous weather, unbelievable entertainment from Whiskey For Tea, The Dukes of Note and Nomadic Orchestra, plus ten Barrington’s brews on tap, including a special occasion Fest Bier, ensured that over 550 revellers had the full opportunity to… revel in style! Bratwurst, pretzels, sauerkraut, beer pong, and lederhosen all made their requisite appearances. The Oktoberfest-inspired bites are much needed, what with over 750 litres of beer alone consumed in one short afternoon! The highlight, however, was undoubtedly witnessing a young Ross Pedder down a 1lt Stein of Barrington’s lager in a remarkable 8.68 seconds!!! We’re not entirely sure that this record stands to be beaten. Might you be up for it this year?
