WUNDERBAR!<\/p>\n
An Oktoberfest event is set to take place at a popular pub in Bradford next weekend.<\/p>\n
Usually held over a two-week period and ending on the first Sunday in October, Oktoberfest is a German celebration in Munich each year.<\/p>\n
To mark the festival – and also to celebrate Bradford’s year as UK City of Culture – legendary Oktoberfest beers will be flowing at the Lord Clyde on Thornton Road next Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n
The event – which has been organised by the pub in conjunction with Bradford CAMRA – will take place in the Lord Clyde beer garden between 12pm and 10pm on both days.<\/p>\n
Entry will be free.<\/p>\n

Ricky Holden, of Bradford CAMRA, said: “We’re really looking forward to this event – it promises to be a lot of fun.<\/p>\n
“The Lord Clyde’s garden will be perfect for hosting the fantastic beers brewed especially for the world-famous Oktoberfest event.<\/p>\n
“There are six breweries allowed to partake in the actual Oktoberfest – Augustiner, Hacker-Pschorr, Hofbr\u00e4u, L\u00f6wenbr\u00e4u, Paulaner and Spaten.<\/p>\n
“We’re pleased to say all will be available at the event at the Lord Clyde<\/p>\n
“One major difference is that the beers will be substantially cheaper here than they are in Munich!”<\/p>\n
There will also be German-themed music and food – including sausages and sauerkraut – at the event.<\/p>\n
Ricky added: “This special event will not just be a celebration of Oktoberfest, it’ll also complement Bradford’s UK City of Culture status.”<\/p>\n
Kevin Dean, from the Lord Clyde, said: “We’re very excited about our upcoming Oktoberfest.<\/p>\n
“We’re expecting a good turnout – I’m sure there will be a great atmosphere.”<\/p>\n
The Lord Clyde has been a staple for city centre drinkers for decades.<\/p>\n
As reported by the Telegraph & Argus at the start of this year, owners Tiffin Venue Management – which\u00a0also runs The Ginger Goose and City Vaults – pumped in thousands of pounds to give it a new look.<\/p>\n
The Lord Clyde is named after Field Marshal Colin Campbell, 1st Baron Clyde, a British Army officer who was born in 1792.<\/p>\n
Field Marshal Campbell, who is buried in Westminster Abbey, was a key figure in the 19th Century Opium wars and became a hero of the Indian mutiny.<\/p>\n
The pub was one of the first\u00a0Tiffin Venue Management took on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WUNDERBAR!
