Oktoberfest!

This 16-day festival is in full force, and we’ve got lots of great Oktoberfest foods on sale in celebration!

Beer-Braised Brisket

This dish is a hearty, stick-to-your-ribs meal that is great for Oktoberfest. The bitter character of the Märzen beer is gently counteracted with the addition of brown sugar. Three different peppercorns add a bite that will cut through the richness of the gravy. Beer-Braised Brisket will warm the hearts and stomachs of all your Oktoberfest guests.

Oktoberfest Brews

In honor of Oktoberfest we’ve got some great deals on Oktoberfest beers this week. The Sudwerk Marzen is great paired with our Beer ‘n Brats Sausage. The deep roasted malt flavor of this beer helps to balance the rich, spicy flavors of our sausage. We’ve also got Spatenbrau and Paulaner Oktoberfest beers on sale this week.

Spatenbrau or Sudwerk Brews

Selected Varieties. 6 Pack/12 oz. Bottles $6.99 + crv, Save up to $3

Paulaner Oktoberfest

6 Pack/12 oz. Bottles $7.99 + crv, save $2.50

Nugget Beer n’ Brats or Bratwurst Pork Sausages:

Hand-made by our meat department associates, with NO nitrites, nitrates, or MSG. Our Beer n’ Brats sausages are made with pork shoulder roast, beer, sea salt, and spices like black and white pepper, ginger, cardamom, mace, nutmeg, basil and celery.

Health Notes with Dr. Liz

Oktoberfest Foods

When it comes to taking part in Oktoberfest, we always say why not celebrate another country’s holiday, especially when it involves delicious foods and lasts 16 days?! Oktoberfest, which started as a wedding celebration for a Bavarian prince back in 1810, is marked by traditional foods including sausages and copious amounts of beer. Not exactly what you would think of as “good for you” eats, but these foods actually do have some health benefits:

• Sausages: At the heart of Oktoberfest, sausages can be high in fat, but Nugget offers a handmade, lower-fat version with lean pork or chicken along with a wealth of spices such as cardamom, mace and sea salt along with fresh chopped chives and parsley.
• Mustard: What’s sausage without some zesty mustard? As a condiment, mustard (made from ground mustard seeds) is not only very low in fat, but it is loaded with potent cancer fighters called indoles (a member of the broccoli or brassica family.)
• Rothohl/Blaukohl (traditional apple and red cabbage dish): Often times made with vinegar (but some versions come with added cream), this side dish is rich in cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber from the apples (especially if the skin is left on). And red cabbage, another member of the brassica vegetable family, is loaded with cancer-fighting indoles.
• Pretzels: Need more reasons for sampling different mustards? Pretzels are generally fat-free and sometimes whole grain, so they are a good source of insoluble fiber, important for digestive tract health.
• Beer: The most notable Oktoberfest staple, beer in moderation* has been shown to help lower heart disease risk. Made from barley (grain) and hops (flower), beer contains phtyochemicals shown to boost heart health.

* Moderation is one 12 oz. beer for women and up to two for men per day.
