Jack's Abby Hosts 9 Days Of Oktoberfest In Framingham

FRAMINGHAM, MA — There's maybe no brewery in Massachusetts better suited to honor Oktoberfest than the German-inclined lager brewers at Jack's Abby. So they'll do just that starting this week.

Jack's Abby kicks off nine days of Oktoberfest starting this Friday with a special guest: The White Mamba. Yes, former Boston Celtic player — and current analyst — Brian Scalabrine will be on hand Friday to start the nine days of events with a cask tapping at 5 p.m.

Other highlight events include the US Steinholding Association’s second annual Massachusetts State Championship and a food drive for local nonprofit Daniel's Table.

This also comes as Jack's Abby and Weihenstephan have partnered for a fest-inspired beer called Fest of Both Worlds, combining the classic elements of Weihenstephan's brewing with the modern elements of Jack's Abby.
