Lochtoberfest 
Barony of Loch Salann
September 24, 2011

As fair München prepares to celebrate its 178th Oktoberfest, the Barony of Loch 
Salann invites you to be exceptionally creative about your anachronisms and join 
us in a lighthearted mimicry of an event that didn’t have its inception until 
1810. Come to the second annual Lochtoberfest! If you will not come for the sake 
of fun, come for the sake of Würstchen. If not for Würstchen, then obviously, 
you must give in, don your Lederhosen and Dirndln, and attend for the sake of 
Bier! (No one in SCA period garb will be turned away, though.)

Central to our event is, of course, a brewing competition. Brewers far and wide, 
come and prove that your kegs produce the finest brews! We have no Master Spice 
requirement, and as is appropriate in a Barony with a Gaelic name, top-fermented 
beers are welcome in addition to bottom-fermented ones. We even gladly accept 
spontaneously fermented brews, if you’ve been bravely trying your hand at 
creating a Lambic. Indeed, if you feel your brew qualifies as beer, we’re 
certain the populace will happily sample it! Multiple entries by the same brewer 
will be judged separately, so enter more of your masterworks to increase your 
chances of winning.

Arguably as important as the brewing competition (if you’re among those who 
believe anything can be as important as beer) is the Best of the Würst 
competition. The most finely crafted sausages will win this title for their 
maker. Fill some intestines with your best meat concoctions and come wrest the 
Best of the Würst title from Lady Gwynnyth ferch Morgan!

Finally, Dame Hildegardis Filia Vulframni is once again preparing an incredible 
German-themed feast; fighters must also prove which one of them has the best 
sausage; amazing festivities are planned for the youth of the kingdom (with no 
beer-drinking involved); and other great hilarity is anticipated.
