Beethoven’s Musical Beer Garden

 

By Zander Kelly

The Windsor Symphony Orchestra has teamed up with Craft Heads Brewery to create a night of beer and Beethoven.

The first ever Beethoven’s Beer Garden will be held on Oct.18 at 6:30 p.m. at the Capitol Theatre.

 

Sheila Wisdom is the executive director of the Windsor Symphony Orchestra.

 

“It is Oktoberfest, so it makes sense,” said Wisdom. “We had our musicians over at Craft Heads a few months ago creating their own ‘Beerthoven Ale.'”

 

“We decided to change the main theatre stage into Beethoven’s Beer Garden for one night. People can come and sample the beer and hear music up close and personal, right beside the orchestra.”

 

Bryan Datoc co-owns Craft Heads Brewery, an almost three-year-old craft beer company across the street from the Capitol Theatre.

 

“Beerthoven Ale is an amber copper beer and we added some bourbon soaked oak. We may also have Aardvark Blonde ale at the event, but I’m not sure of that right now,” said Datoc.

 

Wisdom said this event was easy and fun to plan.

“They even allowed us to name the beer,” said Wisdom. “It’s a fun, middle-of-the-week perfect thing to do. It’s early evening and it’s a nice thing to allow people to enjoy their weeks and enjoy their beer.”

Tickets are on sale right now for $25 on the WSO website. No tickets will be sold at the door.
