Utepils Brewing
After a long dark winter, everyone is ready for "Utepils". In the spirit of that, it’s tradition in Munich, Germany to celebrate Spring (Frühling) by having a festival filled with music, food, family and of course, beer. Here at Utepils we want to bring a little bit of that European tradition into our own backyard. May 30th, 2020 will be our 2nd Annual Frühlings Fest! Live music, great food, Utepils beer, and more.
