Capital Brewery's 15th Annual Bockfest Coming Saturday, February 25th
For the past fifteen years, on the last Saturday in February (regardless of Wisconsin weather!), Capital Brewery hosts a one-of-a-kind
outdoor party in our Bier Garten located in Middleton, WI. Bockfest is the celebration of our annual release of Blonde Doppelbock; a beer
whose inviting drinkability belies its notorious reputation. In fact, at the 2011 U.S. Beer Open Championships, the Blonde Doppelbock was
ranked number two in the Doppelbock category. It is available at retail March 1st each year; therefore guests at Bockfest are the first to
drink Blonde prior to its official release to the public.
Bockfest features beer, food and beverages, music, beads, catching fish and the annual Running of the Blondes 1k race. Only 2,500 very
lucky folks will attend Bockfest 2012.
Tickets for this legendary event will become available for purchase on January 29, 2012. Ticket outlets include the Capital Brewery,
Steve’s Liquor locations (McKee Rd, Mineral Point Rd. & University Ave), and Star Liquor. Tickets are $10 each with a limit of 2 tickets per
person (cash only). Bockfest tickets are good for EARLY entrance (11am-Noon) and ticket holders will receive a 32oz commemorative
Bockfest beer drinking mug. Additionally, subject to crowd limitations, after 12pm Capital Brewery will allow the general public in with
paid admission at the gate. So don’t fret if you cannot get tickets ahead of time; just take a chance and show up on February 25 and you
may be lucky enough to get in!
For our out of town guests we have partnered again with the local Middleton hotels: Country Inn & Suites, Staybridge Suites, Courtyard,
Fairfield Inn, Residence Inn, and Hilton Garden Inn. These hotels will offer two tickets to Bockfest 2012 with a room rental for the weekend
of February 24-26.
New this year, Capital Brewery will be partnering with Middleton Community Endowment and will be donating 5% of all ticket sales and
beer proceeds from Bockfest to charity. Tom Stitgen, General Manager Capital Brewery states: “In these trying times we believe more
than ever the importance of giving back to our community. We are happy to share the success of this event with those in need.”
