Saint Mars of the Desert

For the past 6 years at SMOD we've put on one of the best (little) lager festivals on the British Isles. This year it is once again four weekends long! SMODFEST is inspired by summertime folk/bierfestivals that we've been to in Franconia, Germany, like Annafest in Forchheim, Kulmbach Bierwoche and the Bergkirkweih in Erlangen. These festivals are a time to grab seats with friends and family, hunker down with lagerbier, and laugh, sing, dance, eat... Expect 4 SMOD lager beers on tap, gravity poured "stichfass" barrels, pitch-lined wooden "holzfass" barrel SMODFESTBIER (limited dates/stay tuned) food, tons of schlager music and just plain old fun. This year we will be premiering a brand new German lager glass design at the SMODFEST! Please join us on the following Fridays and Saturdays, July 24th & 25th, July 31st & August 1st, August 7th & 8th, and August 14th & 15th. There is no entry fee to SMODFEST - just bring your best vibes! You can reserve seats at a smodfest table, please email [email protected] with "SMODFEST" in the subject line. Reservations can only be accepted by email. If you don’t reserve, please feel free to show up, but we can’t guarantee we’ll have a seat for you. Reservations must have a start time and a leaving time. If you don’t give a leaving time you’ll be reserved for 3 hours. Reservations are available beginning at 2pm and if you want to stay until 8, you can, just tell us!
