Hound Song celebrates German culture with ‘Houndtoberfest’

COLUMBUS — In a county with a strong connection with its German and European heritage, the Hound Song Brewing Company brought some of that culture back within its walls as they hosted their inaugural “Houndtoberfest” celebration.

Every seat seemed to be filled as patrons and families populated the taproom and dining areas to celebrate the Oktoberfest-style event. Servers wore traditional costumes as they tapped into the customs and spirit of the centuries-old European celebration.

The event featured many polka musical acts headlined by the Dujka Brothers that led the music to end the night for the event. Attendees got to enjoy a full day of events as Hound Song provided entertainment from noon to just before midnight. The music started at 1 p.m. with the Hofbräuhaus Trio before the event initiated the stein hoisting contest at 2 p.m. Patrons got to display their coordination during the Beer Puppeteer Face-Off hosted at 4 p.m. before the final act of the day set the mood for the Grand March through the building.
