Oktoberfest at Ponysaurus Brewing Co.!

Oktoberfest at Ponysaurus Brewing Co. is a day-long celebration featuring seasonal German-style beers and themed food specials in Durham. The brewery is tapping several small-batch brews, including a Rauchbier and Vienna Lager, alongside a special menu of beer-braised bratwurst served with Swiss cheese and Dijon mustard. If you are heading out with kids, the large, enclosed grassy lawn is the main draw. There is plenty of space for strollers, and the picnic table setup makes it easy to manage a casual lunch. While there is no admission fee to enter the brewery, you will need to pay for your own food and drinks. Street parking is available nearby, but the gravel lot fills up quickly on weekend afternoons. This is a solid weekend pick because of the relaxed outdoor atmosphere. You can enjoy a proper seasonal draft and a hot meal while the kids stay contained and entertained in the grassy yard.
