5 things to know (and a timeline) about Hofbrauhaus’ long-awaited opening – Buffalo News

Hours: Hofbrauhaus' initial hours are 4 to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 4 to 10 p.m. Friday through Sunday. The beer hall is not accepting reservations.

Where to sit: With continued construction inside the hall, patrons will be seated in the beer garden, which seats 125 at 50%, and on the raised patio, which seats 75 at the reduced capacity.

Drinks: Hofbrauhaus has three beers available to start, all imported from the Hofbrauhaus in Munich, Germany, until the house brews are ready expected to be early-to-mid October. Scott Shuler, former head brewer at 12 Gates Brewing Co., leads the brewing program at Hofbrauhaus.

The three beers now available are The Original Lager, a malty, balanced lager; the Oktoberfest, a Festbier-style pale lager served at the Munich Oktoberfest, and the Hefe Weizen, a wheat beer. They are available in half-liters (17 ounces, $6 each) in plastic cups due to the outdoor seating. The Dunkel noted on the Facebook page is not yet available.

The sold-out Stein Club will go into effect at the November grand opening. Townsell said there's a waiting list for people to join the existing group of 500. Limited wine and liquor is available.
