My wife and I throw our annual Strausstoberfest party every year on the last Saturday in September. This occurs during the traditional Oktoberfest celebration. Oktoberfest is synonymous with beer, awesome food and a certain amount of over the top pomp and circumstance. For the last part, I decided that the beer I’ve spent the last 2+ months caring for MUST have a grand entrance.

Difficulty:

This project just requires some basic building skills, but you might need some help getting the keezer onto the Bierwagen.

Time Required:

An afternoon for the build of the cart. Longer if you want to paint or stain it.

Overview:

Here I am rolling out the Bierwagen. Notice the tap handles I made in the post Super Easy Tap Handles.

Here I am “tapping the keg” with my son looking on. o’zapft is!

Here is a 2015 update. I’ve got my Hipster Cream Ale WBHY 3D printed tap handle as well as a 3D printed Darth Vader bust added to my Super Easy Tap Handles.

The “rolling chassis”. It uses the front wheels from my bike and my wife’s bike. We don’t use them much in the fall, so why not be resourceful and use them?
