Cheesetoberfest set in Dover Oct. 7
Cheesetoberfest is back for another year with delicious beer, great food and the best music this side of Munich. The no-holds-barred grilled cheese and mac & cheese competition is being held from 1 to 5 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 7, at Fordham and Dominion Brewery in Dover. The brewery will be pouring its award-winning Octoberfest brew Spiced Harvest Ale, Copperhead Ale and Gypsy lager, all to the beat of a German brass band and a beer stein-banging DJ.
This years' event looks to be even bigger and better than last, with local restaurants battling it out for the title of Grand Cheezmo. They are being judged by an esteemed panel of local celebrity experts, including radio host and Delaware Foodie Bob Yesbek; Chef Ed Hennessey, instructional director of culinary arts at Delaware Tech Community College; and "Chopper" Chuck Regner, producer at Outdoors Delmarva.
Fordham and Dominion Vice President of Sales Brittney Thomas has been keeping an eye on the level of excitement as the big event approaches. She reports that ticket sales, contestants and media interest are growing, and she expects a large, enthusiastic crowd with radio, social media and the press on hand to witness all the fun activities.
VIP tickets that include a commemorative beer stein, bottomless mug, T-shirt and early entry are available, as are general admission tickets that include a beer stein with three beer tickets and complimentary cheese samples. With the Designated Driver ticket, the non-drinkers and very supportive designated drivers receive bottomless soda and complimentary cheese samples as organizers’ way of saying thanks for their important help.
Tickets are limited. To reserve a spot at the table for what will most certainly be a festival any beer garden would be proud to toast, go to www.fordhamanddominion.com.
Each year Fordham and Dominion partners with a worthy cause. This year, 100 percent of all beer sales will benefit the fine work of the nonprofit Delaware Military Support Organization, whose mission is to support the health, welfare and morale of brave military men, women and families.
