The Austin Saengerrunde and HOPE Farmers Market have partnered up to combine the TX German Bier Festival and Austin's inaugural Grilled Käse (a.k.a. Cheese) Competition. This year, our favorite craft breweries will once again showcase specialty German style bier and what better accompaniment than a grilled käse competition? Local chefs, foodies, and cheese enthusiasts will compete for the title of "Best in Show" (Overall Favorite Choice) and "The BIG Cheese" (The Biggest and Best use of Cheese).

Guests will receive a commemorative glass boot, bier tasting tickets, and samples of warm, cheesy, mouthwatering Grilled Käse. You will also receive two tokens to vote on your favorite cheese sample.
