The 2012 version of the Jupiter Craft Brewers Festival will be much the same as the previous five, and that’s a good thing.

Online tickets have sold out, but 1,500 more will be available on fest day. In this case, good things do come to those who wait as the vast majority in the queue will make it inside.

For those who don’t, there’s the second annual Craftoberfest across the street at Abacoa Green. No ticket needed here, just "an ID and a smile," which fest organizer Fran Andrewlevich says will get you a choice of several quality craft beers in a souvenir cup. Live oompah music is provided on the side for free.

How do I love thee, Jupiter Craft Brewers Festival? Let me count the ways:

5. The Silent Disco: I never participate in the activity in an effort to retain the few remaining shreds of dignity I still possess. But it’s really fun to watch, because the dancers are all wearing headphones (so we don’t hear the music) and most have gleefully left their dignity at the entrance.

4. The Intimate Atmosphere: The fest could be huge by now, but organizers have kept the event from growing out of control or turning into a "drunk fest" by limiting the number of tickets sold to about 3,000. It does get fairly packed in its confined space, but the fest feels like a big lawn party with mellow live music and the best beer selection you could ever imagine.

SUDS SCENE: FOUR BEER DINNERS IN 10 DAYS

The Beer Guy has been lucky enough to attend a number of beer and food pairing dinners in the past couple of months along with other special craft beer-related events. Here’s a heads-up on a few coming attractions with hopes I’ll see you there.

Update: Field of Beers event on Friday has been sold out. Tickets are not available online or at the door.

Organizers have upped the ante once again for the 5th rendition of the Jupiter Craft Brewers Festival, featuring 175 craft beers from over 50 breweries. There will also be more room this year, as the Fest area, just outside of Roger Dean Stadium, has been expanded by 4,000 square feet, allowing extra space to accommodate the beer tents, “silent disco,” live entertainment, and, among the 3,200 fest-goers, a certain Beer Guy dressed in a monk’s habit.

If you haven’t picked up tickets by now, your chances of getting in (assuming you arrive plenty early) are actually still pretty good. Website sales have ended, but 1,600 more will be available at the door on Saturday. Festival organizer Fran Andrewlevich estimates 97 percent of folks waiting in line last year made it inside.

But this time, there’s a contingency plan in place just in case you get turned away at the gate, or would prefer a little more chill atmosphere. It is called “Craftoberfest.”

A special beer tent will be raised nearby at Jupiter’s Abacoa Green, where those who miss the festival can still enjoy special craft beers (sold by the cup), along with live music from an authentic Oompah band and German eats as well prepared by an authentic German chef. Admission is free.

Friday night’s Field of Beers event, held inside Roger Dean Stadium, has become a very tough ticket indeed. (At deadline time there were still tickets available, but it may be sold out by now. Check out the website jupitercraftbrewersfestival.com to find out.

What might you be missing? Fifteen different craft breweries create special batches of beer and pair them with 15 different gourmet bites of food from a team organized by local chef John Carlino. It is truly a feast for the senses and, in my opinion, well worth the $77 price tag.

As for Saturday’s festival, with more brewers and hence, more beer, the selection will again be dizzying.

Andrewlevich is looking forward to trying several different offerings from visiting breweries, including 2009 and 2010 Great American Beer Festival medalist Cigar City’s White Oak IPA.

He’s also eager to sample a Coffee Porter, brewed by Mike Silvernale, his former assistant brewer and now brew master of Liberty Steakhouse and Brewery in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Flying Fish Brewery of New Jersey and Southern Tier of New York will both be making their festival debut, as well.

The festival is also importing volunteers, 55 of them to be exact, from 12 states and three countries — Ecuador, Canada and Trinidad.

Importing is just fine, but The Beer Guy subscribes to the theory, well espoused by Dorothy of Kansas, that “there’s no place like home.” In that spirit, I invite you to meet and support your local brewers and beer retailers and make sure to sample their products at the festival.

They look forward to this event every year and brew up special batches for the occasion. You won’t find anything fresher or better tasting at the event, I assure you.

Beer is his life because: “To me, it’s the creative process. You’re constantly creating different beers using yeast, a living organism, and it never gets old. As soon as you think you’re in control, brewing can humble you very quickly. So it’s constant challenge as well.”

Much as a hit TV series leads to spin-off shows, Leftovers Cafe in Jupiter is an All in the Family restaurant production of its Big Brother, Little Moir’s Food Shack.

But make no mistake, this friendly neighborhood eatery has its own vibe and personality. It also has George Raboni, the manager/beer and wine guy, who is making it his mission in life to bring in unusual and flavorful micro-brewed beer from Florida and beyond. (And from one Beer Guy to another, well played sir.)

Combine the brew with the innovative food creations coming out of the kitchen, led by chef Tim Lipman, and you have a truly remarkable gastronomic experience awaiting you. Seafood takes a starring role, but even the macaroni and cheese is good enough to make your knees buckle. During our visit on a Tuesday night, the place was buzzing with activity, energy and just plain fun. Watch the video, and I think you’ll see what I mean.

Leftovers Cafe, 451 University Blvd., Jupiter. (561) 627-6030.

When Anchor Brewing Co. calls you and asks to take part in your brewers festival it’s a sure bet your little beer bash has taken on enough mystique to create that ever elusive buzz. And such is the case with the fourth annual Jupiter Craft Brewers Festival, on tap this weekend in its new home, Roger Dean Stadium. Read the full story

One of the top Oktoberfest celebrations will be held at the American German Club in suburban Lake Worth. (Gary Coronado / The Post)

The Beer Guy’s Oktoberfest Six-Pack | More Oktoberfest events
Recipes mentioned below | More on American German Club’s celebration

Oktoberfest, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

There’s something about the annual German celebration that gives the Beer Guy a warm, fuzzy feeling inside and seems to bring out the gemutlichkeit (good fellowship) in all who participate. I mean, it’s pretty much impossible to do the Chicken Dance and be in a bad mood at the same time, right?

Since its origin in 1810 to celebrate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese of Bavaria, Munich’s Oktoberfest has grown into the largest beer blast in the world, hosting about 6 million thirsty revelers who down 1.8 million gallons of German lager over 16 days each year. This year’s event tapped out on Sunday.

Lucky for us, though, Oktoberfest is just getting started in our area and this year there are more ways to celebrate than ever. As a public service to my beer brethren and sisters, I offer the ideas below.

Party at the American German Club of the Palm Beaches:

It’s the 36th year for the event on Lantana Road, and the best local alternative to hopping on a plane to Munich — and it’s certainly less expensive. This Lake Worth bash claims to be one of the largest in the country. There will be traditional German beer, food and live bands, direct from the Munich Oktoberfest. Be sure to try Hofbrau, the beer that saved Munich. That’s right: During the Thirty Years’ War, 362 buckets of Bockbier from the Hofbrauhaus helped to placate the invading Swedish army, who decided to not destroy Munich after all. Whew!

Celebrate, Home-Brew Style:

The Palm Beach Draughtsmen home brewing club is hosting its 16th Oktoberfest party at Okeeheelee Park on Oct. 24. It’s a mini version of the American German Club’s bash but still a zer gut (very good) time. The Draughtsmen offered eight different styles of home brew to sample at their 2008 event, with plenty of grilled brats and other German fare, along with live music and fun for the kids. This is a small club event and although guests are welcome, walk-ups are not. Tickets must be purchased in advance on the club’s Web site, www.palmbeachdraughtsmen.com. None will be sold on site.

Five-Course Beer Dinner:

You get Beer Guy-style points for attending this one. Chef Ryan Launer of Jupiter’s Tabica Grill is hosting an Ayinger Brewery Beer Dinner on Friday, Oct. 16. Chef Ryan will serve a different Ayinger beer to pair with each of the five courses, which range from braised pork and smoked duck breast to roast lamb. I have attended several of Chef Ryan’s beer dinners and can assure you of a gastronomic adventure you won’t soon forget.

Oktoberfest Beer Dinner, Part II:

It’s Oktoberfest year-round at Little Munich in Lake Worth. You can feast on authentic German beer and food anytime at the Lake Avenue restaurant — well, anytime they’re open. Owners Peter and Gabi Kachler are the real deal. They owned a restaurant in Munich for years before coming to our area. Also the real deal: Little Munich’s selection of German beers on tap, including Spaten Oktoberfest. The Kachlers are flying in a band from Munich near the end of October to ramp up the celebration.

Oktoberfest ‘Staybration’

OK, so I made up the word. It’s something like a “staycation,” only more beer-obsessed. The concept here is to make your own Oktoberfest food at home and pair it with the appropriate Oktoberfest-style beer. If this seems a bit daunting, do not fear. Chef Ryan of Tabica Grill has provided a recipe for bratwurst sliders that is easy and delicious. I sampled these tasty little burgers at a recent beer dinner at his Jupiter restaurant and was so impressed I lobbied him for the recipe. Likewise, Little Munich’s Gabi Kachler agreed to part with her recipe for traditional wiener schnitzel. It’s a schnap!

As for the beers, I sampled six different Oktoberfest styles available in our area with fellow beer lover and home brewer Greg Pope. We paired the beers with a German sausage combo platter from Little Munich, and let me tell you, it made for one of the tastiest “stay-happy hours” I’ve ever had.

Any or all of these options should get you in the Oktoberfest spirit. Of course, I plan to hit them all by the end of the month. That’s just how the Beer Guy rolls. Besides, Oktoberfest comes around just once a year.

Gabi Kachler of Little Munich shares her recipe of traditional Wiener Schnitzel. (Brandon Kruze / The Post)

Traditional Wiener Schnitzel

Gabi Kachler, owner of Little Munich restaurant in Lake Worth, shares her recipe for this German favorite.

2 boneless pork chops, pounded to a thickness of about 1/4 inch
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
2 eggs, whisked with 1 tbsp. of water
1 cup plain, fine bread crumbs
1 tbsp. sunflower oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Dredge the chops in flour, dip in the egg wash and lightly bread both sides in the crumbs. Heat the oil in a large skillet.

Fry the cutlets in the sunflower oil over medium heat, allowing each side to reach a golden brown.

Plate the schnitzels and, while still bubbling hot, season with salt and pepper.

Serve with German potato salad or french fries.

Serves 2.

Bratwurst Slider with Caramelized Shallots and Grain Mustard

Chef Ryan Launer of Jupiter’s Tabica Grill offers this slider as a twist on Oktoberfest cuisine.

For the slider:
1 link raw bratwurst, casing removed
1 tablespoon raisins
1 slider bun (Chef Launer suggests using pumpernickel rounds for this recipe or, if you can find one, a pretzel bun.)
Grain mustard, to taste
Mix the bratwurst and raisins, and form into two patties.
Grill sliders until they are well done and serve on buns with caramelized shallots* and grain mustard.

* For the caramelized shallots:
12 large shallots, peeled and sliced
Vegetable oil, to coat pan
1/4 cup port wine or red wine
3 tbsps. brown sugar

Heat a large skillet with vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and sauté until soft.

Deglaze pan with wine. Reduce heat and continue sautéing.

Add the sugar, keeping an eye on the pan, as it can burn quickly.

Stir shallot mixture until the sugar dissolves and remove from heat.

Serves 1.

Fellow beer lover and home brewer Greg Pope and I rated six of the season’s Oktoberfest beers. We list them from bottom to top and rate them on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the top of the class.

Oktoberfest beers are dark gold to deep orange-red in color with a rich, German malt aroma, initial malt sweetness in flavor with a slightly dry finish. They should be clean, smooth and rich with a complex malt character.

No. 6: Michelob Marzen, Anheuser-Busch Inc., Missouri

I decided to give A-B its shot here and I have to say, Michelob Marzen didn’t do too badly. Both Greg and I tasted some decent malt flavor in this beer, but the aroma and finish are not distinctive. My suspicion is that this is Michelob with a little Munich malt added and nothing more. It did go well with the German sausages, though.
Score: 3.5

No. 5: Left Hand Oktoberfest, Left Hand Brewing Co., Longmont, Colo.

Let me preface this review by saying the American micro Oktoberfests were all good and very close to each other, stylistically speaking. In our beer taste test, we were looking for malt to be the star, with hops in a supporting role. Left Hand’s brew was darker than the rest with a good dose of malt in the flavor. But we agreed that the finish was a little sharper than the others. There could have been more malt aroma.
Score: 5.5

No. 4: Stoudt’s Oktoberfest, Adamstown, Pa.

We noted a good, malty aroma and nice balance in Stoudt’s fest effort, which has won five medals at past Great American Beer Festivals. As I said, these beers were all very close in quality. If anything, we felt the Stoudt’s brew could have used a touch more malt body.
Score: 6.5

No. 3: Penn Oktoberfest, Pittsburgh

We admit to a bit of controversy on this one. I felt it was second-best of the bunch, mostly because of its very smooth finish. Greg, however, thought it was weak on aroma and body. We did agree on one thing that forced the tie for third place: Penn is a very smooth, drinkable beer.
Score: 6.5

No. 2: Brooklyn Oktoberfest, Brooklyn, New York

Brewer Garrett Oliver, no relation to the Beer Guy, went to the trouble of having the malt for this season’s Oktoberfest brew prepared in Bamberg, Germany. His efforts pushed this contender over the top of the America micros. It has a malty, bready flavor and excellent balance. And it goes very well with the grilled bratwurst and sauerkraut we scarfed down.
Score: 7

No. 1: Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest, Munich, Germany

Once we sampled this beer, we decided all the others proved to be pretenders to the throne. Then again, I suppose, when you’ve been making this kind of beer for a few hundred years, you ought to know what you’re doing. Hacker-Pschorr certainly does, offering a beer with an incredible malt aroma up front and a nutty sweet malty flavor and smooth, balanced finish. Yes, the competition was tight, but we found this one to be a more elegant beer than the others. Simple as that.
Score: 10

Brewzzi wins ‘heavy medal’ at GABF

Brewmaster Fran Andrewlevich of Brewzzi in City Place and Boca Raton has done it again, winning a silver medal at the 2009 Great American Beer Festival in Denver, Colorado for his German Altbier “Boca Alt”. This ends a bit of a drought on the medal stand for Brewzzi, which has taken home several awards at the GABF, considered to be the most prestigious professional brewing competition in the U.S.

Cigar City Brewing of Tampa was the only other Florida brewery to medal at this year’s GABF, striking gold with it’s oak barrel aged Humidor Series IPA.

To give you an idea of how difficult it can be to win in Denver, dig some of these stats:

-There are 3,308 beers judged in the competition.
-The average number of competition beers in each category: 42
-Just three states; Colorado, California and Oregon took home 44 percent of the medals.

Andrewlevich and his crew didn’t just stick to the Dowtown Denver area, striking out each day to great beer destinations including Boulder, Fort Collins, Idaho Springs, Longmont, and Lyons. Fran tells me the quality of beer this year at the GABF was incredible.

Treasure of a Festival

The 2nd Treasure Coast Beer Festival went off without a hitch this past Saturday in Fort Pierce. Organizers there told me they believe attendance doubled from last year’s 500 to 1000 fest-goers this time around. There was lots of great beer being poured including a couple of soon to be newcomers to the area, Cigar City of Tampa and Sweetwater Brewery out of Georgia who both also won a medal each at this year’s GABF. Other breweries included Stone, Oskar Blues, Bell’s, Sierra Nevada, Inlet Brewery, makers of Monk in the Trunk, Harpoon, Ayninger, Westmalle, Chimay, Rogue, St. Somewhere, Lagunitas, Terrapin, Left Hand and many more.

The ground floor of the Fort Pierce parking garage kept the brewers and patrons shaded and relatively cool during a pretty warm day. I also love the fact the organizers keep the hours short on this event, which went from 1pm-5pm, giving everyone plenty of time to sample beers and get home before dark if they so desired. Some pics should be available to view soon at the festival website, www.treasurecoastbeerfest.com

Time to warm up your taste buds cause there’s a couple of beer events coming up this week. First up, Tabica Grill is hosting yet another of their very popular beer dinners. Ryan Launer, a homebrewer and chef, always comes up with some wonderful pairings at these events and the “Sam’s and Sliders” dinner looks to be another sure bet. Contact information and menu is listed below. See you there!

Treasure Coast Beer Festival
The Treasure Coast Beer Festival will flow forth for the second year this coming Saturday from 1-5pm behind Fort Pierce City Hall in the parking garage. Parking garage, you say? Yes, and before you chortle under your breath, let me tell you how well this venue works. For one, it’s completely shaded, no searing sun to deal with and two, because it’s an open air kind of place, you get a nice breeze and there’s plenty of room to roam and sample your favorite brews.

Speaking of those, there will over 200 beers to try at the fest, twice as many as the inaugural event, including homebrew offerings from the Treasure Coast Brew Masters. Check out the website for directions and ticket information. http://www.treasurecoastbeerfest.com/

Magic Hat #9

Magic Hat brewery has introduced it’s most popular beer, the #9 to the South Florida beer market. It’s available at all of the places listed below and probably a few more at this point.

Time to make my point. The brewers were nice enough to send me a sample all the way from Burlington, Vermont and I brought it over to the Pope’s house for a tasting (his last name is Pope, that’s all I’m revealing here). Ok, so we taste and while #9 is a pleasant tasting, even refreshing beer, there was something tickling my taste buds I couldn’t quite identify. It seemed like fruit. Only thing is, there isn’t one thing mentioned about fruit in any of the promotional material which accompanied the beer. Hmmm. Why am I tasting fruit? Could it be the yeast? Even on Magic Hat’s web site, they’re a bit mysterious about the flavor profile.

“A beer cloaked in secrecy. An ale whose mysterious and unusual palate will swirl across your tongue and ask more questions than it answers.”

My question was answered days later when I spoke to a fellow beer geek who told me, “oh yeah, #9 is an apricot fruit beer”.

So what Magic Hat is doing is performing a bit of marketing slight of hand for what has become their most popular beer. Fine. I get it, but I’m not going along with the game guys. #9 is a light, fruity apricot ale whether you want all of us to know that or not. And while it’s ok, it most certainly is not the best beer your esteemed brewery makes. I also understand you’re in business to make money first and impress the Beer Guy second…or maybe 10th…but I want to taste your good stuff guys. Anyhow, Magic Hat is a fine brewery and the #9 is a good fruit beer so I encourage you to try at one of the locations listed below.

The product of Inlet Brewing Company in Jupiter has been on tap in bars throughout our area but now you can take a sixer home to the wife and kids too. It’s on the shelves at all Total Wine, Whole Foods, Crown Wine and Spirits, Sunshine Liquors in Palm Springs, and Christopher’s Market in Jupiter.
