RAVENSWOOD — Great news for lovers of beer and sausage — the Germans also invented a weekly version of Oktoberfest.

Allow Dovetail Brewery to introduce you to the custom known as Frühschoppen.

Frühschoppen (pronounced [fʁyːʃɔpm], according to Wikipedia, which is not helpful at all) translates loosely as "beer before noon," typically consumed on Sunday with friends at a pub.

Dovetail, which specializes in European-style beers, is bringing the Frühschoppen tradition to its taproom Sunday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., 1800 W. Belle Plaine Ave.

Along with quaffing pours of Dovetail's brews, patrons can feast on plates of Blaue Zipfel, a traditional dish of Nürnberger sausages and onions. The locally made meats are being provided by Sausage König.

Beers are $5 for one-third liter or $7 for a half-liter. Orders of Blaue Zipfel are $7.

Though this weekend's Frühschoppen is planned as a one-time event, popular demand could turn it into a regular fixture at Dovetail, according to owners.
