Urban Chestnut Brewing Company’s annual Wolpertinger Festival returns to the UCBC Grove location! As is tradition, UCBC opens the entire Grove Brewery & Bierhall to guest breweries and festival goers, featuring live music from rock bands and local brass bands. The festivities for the day culminate in the Wolpertinger March; a Wolpi-led band parade through the entire footprint of the brewery celebrating the spirit & community of craft beer with all in attendance.
Wolpertinger, the mythical Bavarian creature, is similar to the American Jackalope. The creature is a combinations of a few different species and is rumored to live in the Bavarian forest. As part of the annual theme of the festival, Urban Chestnut encourages the attending breweries to bring unique, experimental, and/or special beers. UCBC will pour some of our special releases, including their anniversary brew, called 'Wolpertinger'!
