Crescent City Brewhouse Does Oktoberfest

Wolfram Koehler, a German guy descended from several generations of brewmasters, is the owner-brewmasters for this big, lively restaurant overlooking the river. The center of the action is the polished-copper microbrewery, which produces a half-dozen lagers. What could be a better venue for the celebration of Oktoberfest? And here it is, with a menu that changes the German dishes every day. The beers are quite satisfying in their flavor and freshness. It goes well with the food, which is more adventuresome than you might expect. You get three courses (appetizer, entree, dessert) for prices between $27 and $29. Here are the menus for the rest of October, with the possibility of more additions.
