Oktoberfest 2013: Village Melbourne

“Given Ormond Hall’s old world charm, we thought the space would make the perfect place for the Village Melbourne Oktoberfest. We have a shipping container on its way from Germany filled with Oktoberfest brews and decorations, so Ormond Hall will definitely be transformed into an authentic Bavarian Bier Hall for the weekend.”

VillageMelbournehas many faces; incorporating Ormond Hall, The Brasserie (former Belgian Beer Café), beer garden spaces, a former Victorian institute for the blind – all of which breathe a humbling Melburnian history. Matt explains, “the concept for (the masthead title) Village Melbourne was to build on from the success of the Belgian Beer Cafe and take a slightly new direction into craft beer, while also expanding our food offering at the same time. Ormond Hall has been transformed into a fantastic live entertainment venue, which has just bought another great diversity to the Village Melbourne brand.”

Heading into the warmer months, there will be no shortage of opportunities to experience Village Melbourne. Matt gives us a heads up that we can expect plenty more festive events like this at Village Melbourne this summer. “We have some fantastic gigs coming up over the next few months. We are very excited about The Garden Kiosk, that has a new menu inspired by street food, and the Trailer Park food truck event will be back for one full week in November.”

To celebrate Oktoberfest, punters will be supplied with a stein upon entry, and Alpine Cocktail will be performing Oktoberfest tunes along with favourite hits. German beers will be on tap and gourmet bratwursts will be on offer from the Mutter Krause Food Truck. Matt says “all of our staff are extremely excited about the event and keen to get into the spirit of Oktoberfest, decked out in Authentic Bavarian getup.”
