Come join us for AGP “Stammtisch” every first Tuesday of the month.  This month of October we will already start at 5 p.m. to attend Brät Brot’s Oktoberfest kickoff by Tapping of the Keg with Tom Soehn, Head Coach of Birmingham Legion (professional soccer). Lederhosen and Dirndl is optional. 

What does “Stammtisch” mean? A Stammtisch is an informal group meeting held on a regular basis, and also the usually large table around which the group meets. A Stammtisch is not a structured meeting, but rather a friendly and casual get-together.

This is a great opportunity for German expats to meet and for other German speaking/practicing to improve your German. Speaking German is encouraged but not required. 

Bröt Brot has a great selection of beverage and food for purchase. Please note the venue has 21+ age requirement.
