ROGERS (KFSM) -- Fifty craft beer breweries were featured at OctoBeerFest in Rogers Saturday (Sept. 3).

The event name is based on the popular German celebration called Oktoberfest. This was the third year for the Rogers' version and dozens came out to enjoy a sample-sized mug of beer. Some even came dressed in traditional German clothes and at least one beer enthusiast had experienced Oktoberfest in Berlin first-hand.

"I wasn't expecting that much, but actually this is very nice," Julyen Rouanet, who is from France, but now lives in Fayetteville, said. "Music is nice, beer is good, food is great, sun is up, and people are enjoying themselves so very glad to be here."

The event was free and aside from the beer, visitors could also get a taste of bratwurst and barbecue along with live music.
