If the sound of oompah music gets your heart racing (or at least makes you crave a proper German lager) Foundry on Elm in Somerville has what you need with their special Oktoberfest menu. Chef Mike Slavin and the crew are serving up plates that could be straight out of Munich including classic Currywurst German bratwurst poached in beer, served over a pile of hand-cut fries and finished with a generous pour of housemade curry ketchup.
There’s also Pork Schnitzel, which is a crispy, golden breaded cutlet stacked next to braised red cabbage, with warm German potato salad and thick-cut North Country bacon. Obviously you’re gonna need a beer to go with all that grub, so order up an Ayinger Märzen, which is an amber lager brewed in Bavaria that’s built for Oktoberfest season.
If you’re more into the U.S. craft style, go for a crisp, floral Sierra Nevada Festbier instead, which has all the maltiness with a big burst of American hops. Dust your lederhosen and dirndls off and head for Davis Square to get in on the feast any day starting at 4:00pm. Reservations are available online or over the phone (617.628.9999), and keep an eye on their socials (IG and FB) for updates.
