As we sweat out the end of September, does it feel a little early to be raising a stein to Oktoberfest? Ah, but Oktoberfest HQ in Munich already got the party started on its 191st edition last week, so if it’s good enough for Bavaria, it’s good enough for Bat City. Wheatsville extends the alliteration to offer brats and beer, plus pretzel bites with queso and German potato salad, from 12-3pm on the patio of the South Lamar location. Vegan options available, as one might expect from Austin’s long-operating grocery co-op. – Kimberley Jones
