Schmidt's Oktoberfest Beer Flights, Chipotle Joins the Fisherman's Wharf Club, and More

OKTOBERFEST - Schmidt's Restaurant (2400 Folsom St.) has brought in 10 seasonal Märzen beers just for Oktoberfest, and they are offering them in special flights like this through October 16th. That's a housemade Bavarian pretzel knot you see there, along with some German mustard and the description of the beers rolled up in the glass boot. If you're feeling it, ask about the Festbier they have in from the oldest brewery in the world c. 1040. [EaterWire]
