Karbachtoberfest shines free music lineup, charities for flood relief By Christina Martinez christina@theleadernews.com
You won’t have to travel to Munich, Germany to partake in Oktoberfest festivities this year. Karbach Brewing Co. is bringing the big party over to the brewery on Karbach street with their annual festival, Karbachtoberfest. Karbach is going on their sixth year of bringing their take on the German beer celebration and this year things are getting bigger and better. The festivities for Karbachtoberfest are now spreading over a four week span – just like the real Oktoberfest in Munich - kicking off this Thursday, Sept. 14 spanning through Saturday, Oct. 7.
Contributed photos Karbach Brewing Co. will bring the spirit of Oktoberfest to their brewery with their annual event, Karbachtoberfest. The event will begin Thursday, Sept. 14 and span thru Saturday, Oct. 7 showcasing free, local talent, their Karbachtoberfest seasonal beer, German inspired fare and more.
“We are really kicking it up a notch this year, in terms of bringing in some awesome entertainment during the fest,” Karbach Brand Manager, David Graham said. “It will be absolutely free admission to these shows. “ The fun starts off this week, with Heapin Helpin’ taking the stage on Thursday, Sept. 14;
The Suspects on Friday, Sept. 15; and Bun B with Trae the Truth on Saturday, Sept. 16. All acts will kick-off at 8 p.m. and are completely free for all ages. Other acts include Grupo Fantasma, Los Skarnales, The Bright Light Social Hour, Gio Chamba, Ishi, Wrestlers, The Tontons, Otis the Destroyer, Flow Tribe and Blaze x Black and more. Karbachtoberfest isn’t just the name of the brewery’s local famed lineup and party, it is also one of their seasonal beers. Karbachtoberfest is a traditional marzen style lager with Vienna and Munich malts. “It’s the longest fermentation time of any of our beers - it stays in the tanks a full eight weeks,” Graham said. “Where like Hopadillo would be a two to three week start to finish beer, so Karbachtoberfest takes quite a bit longer. What you get in that cold aging time is a really, unbelievably smooth malt character out of that beer. It’s 5.5% ABV; it’s something you can drink by the mug full and still be functioning. It’s a great beer for this time of year where we can be experiencing heat or a little bit of nice weather. It’s light enough bodied to be fresh, and still a lot of that malt body for cooler evenings.” After hurricane Harvey, the festival restructured a bit. The brewery has made an initial $10,000 donation to The 100 Club on behalf of the late Sergeant Steve Perez, K9 Angels Rescue, The Diaper Foundation and The Houston Chapter of Habitat for Humanity. The fundraising continues and the brewery will welcome each of these foundations to Karbachtoberfest to raise awareness on their mission and how you can help. The 100 Club will be out at weekend one; K-9 Angels at weekend two; The Diaper Foundation at weekend three; Houston Habitat for Humanity at
Balls Out Burger serves straight up burgers on prime patio real estate By Christina Martinez

Saint Arnold,” Tucker said. “We wanted to support local and St. Arnold is independent and their product is great across the board.” The burger joint sits on some prime real estate at 1603 N. Durham Dr. and Tucker said his real estate agent said about 70,000 cars drive by daily. That’s a lot of drive by promotion. Balls Out Burger seats 40 inside and 120 outside on the patio. Dogs are even welcomed on the patio, with their own stations for water and waste. With patio weather here, things are gearing up on the patio with outdoor music kicking off every Tuesday in October. Cornhole tournaments will also be held on Thursday, also kicking off in October, with a start time of 7 p.m. You can find your favorite sporting event on the TVs outside, and even enjoy $1 off beers anytime any Texas NFL or college football game is on. Patio games are aplenty, as well. This isn’t Tucker’s first go - he has restaurants back home in Dublin and he’ll be bringing the style of those concepts to his coming soon project in Sawyer Yards, Poiten.
the end of the year,” Graham said. Even if beer isn’t your taste or adult beverages aren’t on your lineup, the Karbach restaurant will be adding German-style and inspired dishes to the menu. The restaurant menu wouldn’t be complete without Sausage on a Stick, Schnitzel Wings, Curry Wurst and Crispy Pork Shank. The biergarten will be equipped with German flared food trucks, too. “No matter what style your music is, you can come out and have a great time,” Graham said. “This is a fun festive time, admission is free, come one, come all and enjoy the season with us.” To buy your beer package and explore the music lineup visit www.karbachbrewing.com.
While bourbon, beer and tacos have been staples at Eight Row Flint since it opened in early 2016, there has been another mainstay for nearly that long – their Tuesday night cooking series. “We’ve been doing the cooking series almost since we opened,” said General Manager Christina Ramey. The brainchild of Chef Ryan Pera and the team at Agricole Hospitality, which also includes Coltivare and Revival Market in its roster, the Tuesday night series was intended to shine a spotlight not just on chefs from Agricole’s restaurants, but from other Houston eateries. The series took a break from November through February of this year but came back in the spring, just in time for patio weather with such fare as the Juicy Lucy, where the cheese is actually inside the patty.

Ian Tucker moved from Ireland to Houston about two years ago. His now wife a Houstonian, the two met while she was on vacation in Ireland and now call Houston home together. The two birthed a boy this year, along with their straight forward burger concept, Balls Out Burger, that opened this past June. Balls Out Burger owner Ian Tucker isn’t shy on sharing the burger joint’s strait forward menu and concept, saying they focus on using quality ingredients for a classic style burger - with emphasis on the meat and buns - and no frill ingredients so the core ingredients can truly shine. “Our concept isn’t for everyone,” Tucker said. “People will come in and want to add on bacon or something else, but that’s not what we’re trying to do. I’m not shy of pointing people to Hopdoddy for fancy toppings.” The two core ingredients for Balls Out’s burger aren’t your typical sysco buy. The beef comes from 44 Farms, a farm out of Cameron, Texas that specialzies in Black Angus. The burger buns come from Slough Dough - a local artisinal bread company - and is a specialty recipe just for Balls Out Burger. Toppings keep it simple with cheese or no cheese, lettuce. tomato, onions, pickles and fresh jalepenos. The menu consists of a few options for burger building: single or double patty; cheese or no cheese; toppings all the way, or select your picks. You’ve got three options for fries: shoestring, handcut or sweet potato. There are two milkshakes on the menu: vanilla or chocolate - all made with Amy’s Ice Cream - though, strawberry is making its debut this week, Tucker said. “We just had to pick out the stawberries we wanted to use.” For beverages, you can have water, sparkling water, sweet tea, soda, or beer or wine. When it comes to the beer, you’ve only got one brand option, though, and that’s St. Arnold. “We’re the only venue that’s only serving

In addition, Karbach will do a cents per case donation to these charities when someone buys a six-pack of Love Street, donations going to The 100 Club; Hopadillo, donations going to the K-9 Angels; Staycation, donations going to The Diaper Foundation; Weekend Warrior, donations going to Houston Habitat for Humanity. “We started this Aug. 31 and it will go through
Photo by Carla Gomez Troy Witherspoon from Buffalo Bayou is the chef for Eight Row Flint’s Tuesday Night cooking series on Sept. 12 and 19, located at 1039 Yale St.
While culinary director Vincent Huynh initially had primary responsibility for the series with the help of veteran sous chef Marcelo Garcia, he recently passed the reins to Garcia who in turn solicited the help of wife Kaitlyn who works for Justin Yu and chef de cuisine Jason White, the chef at Yu’s new Theodore Rex. White cooked coal-grilled chicken with green garlic broth and chicken fat rice for a recent popular series. And Sam Chang of Oxheart and Underbelly fame brought down the proverbial house with his Taiwanese street noodles. “It’s a very popular dish right now and Sam has a loyal following,” said Garcia. Next up is Troy Witherspoon from Buffalo Bayou Brewing Company who for the next two Tuesdays will be dishing up Chiles rellenos, grilled and stuffed with brisket and blue heron goat cheese, along with a grilled broccoli salad, topped with grated horseradish and grapefruit supremes. Witherspoon jokes that when Garcia asked him to participate his first question was – “Why?” “I’ve known Marcelo for a while now, and some of my greatest inspirations are these chefs,” he said. Witherspoon, who incidentally is an Oak Forest resident, said that when thinking about what he would serve, he was inspired by Buffalo Bayou’s Crush City IPA, a special limited release that will be offered as long as it lasts at Eight Row. All proceeds of the sale of the beer will go to Hurricane Harvey relief funds. Other Buffalo beers available at Eight Row are their Sam’s Daily Cream Ale and the Great White Buffalo Style Belgian Wheat. A jack of all trades but a chef at heart, Witherspoon has cooked at the Petrol Station and also operated a food truck called Craft Infusion. “Every dish included a local beer,” he said. Before coming to Buffalo Bayou Brewing, he was the general manager at Brews Brothers on the Strand in Galveston where he got their

metal and wood fabrications, furniture primarily, and home decor like bowls, candle holders and such. Ulrich had a day job when we met nearly 17 years ago and I remember being most impressed that he rode his bike to work daily, from the Heights to somewhere far in West Houston. A couple of eye-opening life events led to leaving the ole’ nine to five grind and Ulrich picked up some metalsmith classes because, as he put it, “we live in a modern society, not everything has to be made out of wood.� Ulrich picked up woodworking from his father, a master wood craftsmen and wanted to learn a new skill: metal. From my point of view, Ulrich and his wife are as artistic as they come. The ultimate do-it-yourselfers, if that is a word. We sat talking in midcentury chairs they refinished and restored right down to the laced rope cord seats. I sipped on fresh roasted Americano coffee that Ulrich roasted and made from a machine that would make any
the craft. Then a mishap with one of his three dogs escaping gave him a brilliant idea for his first big project. The metal gate that crossed his driveway opened wide letting the dogs make their escape. Ulrich removed the gate, (with help) cut a section off and rehung it with hydraulic hinges back onto the original. He took the iron cross bars (think jail) that added height to the gate off and re-created them as a vine design. I barely noticed any of this the gate was so seamless. Ulrich pointed out other projects, the sunshade over his studio made of aluminum and plexiglass. A wooden kayak tucked neatly next to a modern one on the ceiling of his back porch. He’s found being an artist is full time. Ulrich’s furniture is similar to the midcentury in his home. Clean lines, wood, and metal complementing each other in color and texture with no apparent joins or hard looking edges. At the table he hands me what looks like a metal
face looks and feels like clay, with smoothed over rough edges and a slight texture. I note that it’s hollow and ask the same question his metal instructor asked recently, “What IS this made of ?� Aluminum is the answer. Besting one’s teacher is of course, priceless. Find Ulrich on Instagram and Facebook as fab.weld. wood. He’ll also be at First Saturday Arts Market this Saturday, the makeup date for those artists affected by Harvey. 540 W. 19th from 11 - 6 p.m. Cohen is an artist and founder of First Saturday Arts Market and the new Market at Sawyer Yards, find him at ArtValet.com

Craft Chronicles
Great Heights Brewing Co. opens doors on Wakefield Welcome back for the September edition of Craft Chronicles. Following all the stress of the last few weeks I’m sure there are more than a few readers out there ready for a pint. And for those of you who don’t follow new brewery openings, I’d like to inform you that the neighborhood has a new one to check out! Great Heights Brewing Company has set up shop very near to Wakefield Crowbar in the heart of Garden Oaks. These guys had a soft opening right before Harvey rolled over us and are still in the process of filling out their tap wall with some delicious options, but they already have four selections available to fit a variety of palettes, with more on the way. When the family and I cruised in last week, their brews included an Amber, NEIPA, Saison and West Coast IPA ready to pour. With Edison lights overhead, I ordered a flight containing one of each, grabbed some complimentary popcorn and claimed a spot at one of the long picnic tables. Sometimes in the rush of getting a brewery going, things don’t always come out exactly how you’d like the first go round, but I can happily say that Great Heights didn’t have that problem. While they may tweak recipes here and there later on, each beer was well
crafted and without “odd� flavors creeping up that can happen when getting used to new equipment and brewing conditions. I do gravitate towards hoppier styles in general, but the Saison caught my attention this time. It was golden moving to straw at the edges with a very nicely developed white head on top. The aroma was

Harold’s 350 W. 19th St. Located in the heart of the Heights, Leader Readers love Harold’s for its patio overlooking 19th Street. Patrons can enjoy brunch, lunch, happy hour and dinner on the patio, and with weather like we’ve had in the last few days, this is the top spot to enjoy Heights ambiance. From the brunch menu, the Big Nasty Biscuit or the Big Damn Breakfast are my top choices. On the lunch side, the Cornmeal Crusted Catfish and the Classic Caesar Salad are my go-tos. For Happy Hour, an order of the meatballs and a Sangria is nice. For Dinner, KG’s Double-brined Cast Iron Chicken (the fried chicken) is a must, you can’t go wrong with the burger, or ask your waiter what Chef Ware has on his seasonal menu.

You will likely find me hanging around anytime they have a new beer roll out and I expect I won’t be the only one eagerly waiting. Speaking of Saisons – The local brew club, Brewers of the Hood, is hosting a Saison/ Farmhouse Ale contest on Saturday, Sept. 23rd.

Swayze family bench highlights revitalization
We Mean Business
By Kim Hogstrom For The Leader
As the fall settles in and the weather cools, more locals will spend time in Oak Forest Park located at 2100 Judiway Dr. Once funding is complete for the second phase of the park’s revitalization, members of the community will be able to relax while remembering two former residents. Locals will watch children play while enjoying the Swayze family commemorative bench. The approaching Festival of Abilities is the largest fundraiser each year for park’s planned addition for its new “Playground for All Abilities.” To help, be sure to attend on Saturday, Oct, 28, from 3 pm to 7 pm. in the park. This second annual fest is a family oriented, inclusive, action-packed must-do. Last year, more than 1,000 attended. What attracted so many? The fact that the event is fullblown fun for all. The Festival of Abilities offers wondrous activities, all of which can be enjoyed by those with physical challenges. The fest features an obstacle course, SIRE therapeutic horses, a petting zoo, a pick-your-own pumpkin patch, trick or treating, a costume contest, dazzling dance performances and activities hosted by local businesses. A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at 5 pm to celebrate the completion of Phase 1 of fundraising. Oak Forest Park has long been a favorite of local children. Soon, it will be even better with the addition of its cutting-edge Playground for all Abilities, a play space dedicated to all kids, one of only a handful in the entire city. Plans include wheelchair accessible, sensory-rich equipment, an engraved paver pathway, commemorative picnic tables and benches, and a painted art tile installation. For the first time, those with disabilities can play alongside their friends.

The Swayze bench is one of eight commemorative benches and pick nick tables in the new playground’s design. When funding is complete, the bench will be dedicated to honor the Swayze family including actor/dancer Patrick “Buddy” Swayze who grew up in Oak Forest, and his beloved mother Patsy, who taught many area children to dance. “Able-bodied children also learn lessons that can last a lifetime by interacting with those of different abilities,” stated Elyssa Horvath. “Accessible playgrounds are spaces where everyone learns to accept one another.” Horvath is the Chairperson of the Friends of Oak Forest Park and Coordinator of the Festival of Abilities. She will not say as much, but she is the spearhead for the Playground for all Abilities vision. This active local has a marketing and event planing background, and directed her fierce skill set to the task of launching the playground campaign in 2016. To date, the group has raised over $200,000 in private funding. Perhaps the greatest moment at the Festival of Abilities will be entertainment by Cookie Joe’s Dance Company. Cookie Joe is a renowned dance instructor. She and her students - some with special needs – will be performing a tribute to Patrick and Patsy Swayze. For Joe, it’s personal.
Patsy was her dance teacher, second mother, and personal mentor. Patrick was a dear friend, dance classmate, and fellow Waltrip High School graduate. “Buddy was such a kind person. No one was beneath him,” Joe stated. “He also set high standards for himself. When we danced together, he always made me reach higher, and do better.” Joe loved her friend Buddy, but it was Patsy who made the difference. “I started dancing at her school when I was nine. She welcomed me into her family and she inspired me to teach others. Patsy left an impression, and to this day, I carry her training on to my students. They are now an extension of her too, through my instruction,” Cookie Joe concluded. The Leader spoke with Patrick’s niece Danielle Swayze regarding the family’s feeling about the commemorative bench. She was delighted. “There is no place on Earth that my grandmother or my Uncle Patrick would have preferred be remembered, than at a Playground for all Abilities,” she concluded.

Row from P. 1B and the participating chefs and companies. The excellent weather we’ve been having, as a small recompense for what the city must endure with Harvey, certainly isn’t hurting the series. They expect 50 to 60 people each Tuesday. The patio holds about 175 people according to Christina Ramey. And there are ample fans. “We really don’t have a winter here,” said Ramey, who notes that when it does get cold they cover a portion of the patio and heat it. To enjoy a brew and some wonderfully decadent chiles rellenos yourself, come to Eight Row on September 19 or the 26. For more Buffalo Bayou beers visit them at 5301 Nolda St. near T.C. Jester Blvd. Friday from 5 to 9 p.m. and Saturday noon to 3 p.m.

The Leader is hosting a day-long event geared toward seniors in our community, and you’re invited. We’ve invited businesses all across the community to take part to provide information about issues that are important to you. There will be speakers attending to help with health care concerns, including the impact of the new Affordable Care Act, and how it impacts Medicare. We’ve invited professional finance planners who can help you take that dream trip or manage your fixed income better, and attorneys who will talk to you about any legal concerns you have. But this isn’t going to be all serious business, either. We’ll have breakfast in the morning and lunch in the afternoon.
The best part, besides the food, fun and fellowship is that it is all FREE! All you have to do is register.
