Settle Down Easy Brewing 7th Annual OysterFEST & Seafood Extravaganza with Kelly’s Oyster House
Each year, Settle Down Easy Brewing Company finds new ways to bring the community together with flavorful beer, memorable experiences, and unique celebrations. This fall, the tradition continues with the 7th Annual OysterFEST & Seafood Extravaganza, a highly anticipated event that pairs the brewery’s craft creations with the fresh, briny magic of Kelly’s Oyster House. Known for drawing oyster enthusiasts, seafood lovers, and beer aficionados alike, this festival has become one of the signature culinary happenings in Northern Virginia.
$1,.50 Fresh Shucked Oysters
$12 for 6 Grilled Oysters – Frank’s signature seasoning and bacon
$27 Jumbo Lobster Rolls
$27 Jumbo Crab Cakes
The centerpiece of OysterFEST is, of course, the oysters. Kelly’s Oyster House, a name synonymous with quality and freshness, will be shucking thousands of them throughout the day. Guests can indulge in oysters served raw on the half shell, grilled with creative toppings, or roasted to smoky perfection. For those who prefer variety, Kelly’s brings along an impressive selection of seafood favorites, from shrimp and crab to lobster rolls and hearty chowders. The wide range of offerings ensures that every seafood craving can be satisfied, whether you lean toward delicate flavors of the ocean or crave something more bold and buttery.
But what makes this event truly unique is the thoughtful pairing of food and drink. Settle Down Easy Brewing prides itself on brewing beers that are approachable, balanced, and bursting with character. We will have 8 fantastic crisp lagers on DRAFT. Our diverse tap list—featuring crisp lagers, hop-forward IPAs, rich stouts, and refreshing seasonal releases—offers the perfect complement to the ocean’s bounty. A bright, citrusy IPA might lift the salinity of a freshly shucked oyster, while a malty amber or smooth stout could match beautifully with roasted shellfish or chowder. Guests are encouraged to experiment, savoring the way beer and seafood enhance one another. Remington’s Run Pils is Frank’s perfect pair for these FRESH OYSTERS!
Beyond the food and drink, the 7th Annual OysterFEST & Seafood Extravaganza is about community. The event has always been designed as a gathering place, where neighbors and friends can linger, share stories, and celebrate the simple pleasures of good food and great company. Live music sets the tone, creating a festive atmosphere that keeps the energy high from the first oyster shucked to the final pint poured. Local vendors and artisans often join in, adding a marketplace element that rounds out the experience and supports small businesses in the region.
Over seven years, OysterFEST has grown from a fun brewery event into a beloved local tradition. Its success stems not only from the unbeatable combination of beer and oysters but also from the sense of camaraderie it inspires. Attendees don’t just come for a meal; they come for an experience that connects them with local flavors, local people, and the vibrant spirit of Northern Virginia’s craft beer scene. Please RSVP on our Facebook page or purchase a ticket and receive a discount! YOU DO NOT NEED A TICKET. This is just to help us understanding how much seafood to order!
For Settle Down Easy Brewing, events like these embody their mission: to brew quality beer, foster community, and create spaces where people can relax, connect, and enjoy life. Partnering with Kelly’s Oyster House elevates that mission, ensuring that the seafood is as exceptional as the beer. Whether you’re a die-hard oyster fan or just looking for a lively way to spend a weekend afternoon, the 7th Annual OysterFEST & Seafood Extravaganza promises to be a feast for the senses and a celebration worth savoring.
TL;DR Every September – Settle Down Easy Brewing in Falls Church delivers the freshest and crispiest lagers! Kick ofthe FEST Season with Owner Frank on the Grill with Brats “your way” starting on Saturday September 20th at 12 noon.
Every autumn, when the air turns crisp and the leaves begin to shift into golden shades, beer lovers eagerly await the arrival of Oktoberfest season. At Settle Down Easy Brewing Company, this annual tradition is more than just a celebration of beer—it’s a gathering of community, culture, and camaraderie. Known for its creative brews and welcoming taproom atmosphere, the brewery embodies the spirit of Munich’s world-famous festival while infusing it with a uniquely local twist that resonates with both loyal patrons and newcomers.
The highlight of the season, of course, is the beer. Settle Down Easy Brewing’s Oktoberfest Märzen & FEST Bier are the stars of the show, brewed with a dedication to tradition while still showcasing the brewery’s craft-driven personality. Märzen-style lagers are the backbone of Oktoberfest celebrations, and Settle Down Easy’s version balances toasted malt flavors with a smooth, clean finish that makes it as drinkable as it is flavorful. With notes of caramel, bread crust, and a gentle touch of noble hops, it embodies everything enthusiasts love about this seasonal style. Served in steins or pints, it’s a beer that invites guests to linger, laugh, and raise a hearty “Prost!” among friends.
But Oktoberfest at Settle Down Easy is not only about what’s in the glass—it’s about the whole experience. The brewery transforms its space into a festive, Bavarian-inspired gathering place. Grab a group of friends and enjoy the communal tables, which encourage conversation. At the same time, traditional decorations, from blue-and-white banners to rustic beer garden touches, set the stage for an authentic yet approachable event. Patrons often arrive decked out in dirndls and lederhosen, embracing the fun-loving atmosphere that makes Oktoberfest so iconic worldwide.
The food is another essential part of the celebration. No Oktoberfest would be complete without hearty German-inspired fare, and Settle Down Easy will have a traditional German bratwurst, Chadder Jalapeño Brat,, and DMB Half Smokealongside, alongside large jumbo pretzels. The pairing of rich, savory flavors with the crisp malt character of Oktoberfest Märzen creates a combination that is as satisfying as it is festive. Whether guests are sampling a giant pretzel with spicy mustard or diving into a platter of sausages, the culinary side of Oktoberfest adds a memorable dimension to the brewery’s seasonal celebration.
Settle Down Easy offers Family-friendly activities and games that often round out the festivities, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
What makes Settle Down Easy Brewing’s Oktoberfest truly special, though, is the sense of community it fosters. The event is a chance for neighbors, friends, and visitors to gather together, share stories, and celebrate not just beer, but connection. In a world that often feels fast-paced and fragmented, Oktoberfest serves as a reminder to slow down, savor the moment, and enjoy good company with great beer.
As the festival season unfolds, Settle Down Easy Brewing continues to prove that Oktoberfest is more than a tradition—it’s an experience. By blending time-honored German influences with local flavor and hospitality, the brewery offers a celebration that feels both authentic and uniquely its own. With every stein raised and every toast shared, the Oktoberfest spirit at Settle Down Easy Brewing lives up to its name: a place where it’s easy to settle down, enjoy life, and celebrate together.
Join Settle Down Easy Brewing for a FUN Seafood Event!
Steamed crab with corn and potatoes is a classic coastal dish that brings the flavors of the sea and the earth together in a satisfying, hearty meal. We have teamed up with Danny Iriarte, who will bring FRESH Chesapeake Bay Crabs! They will be Medium body crabs!
Steamed with a generous seasoning of his custom seafood spice blend. The steaming process helps preserve the crab’s natural sweetness and tenderness. As the crabs cook, their shells turn a vibrant orange-red, releasing a mouthwatering aroma.
Corn on the cob and potatoes will be offered with the crabs. The corn adds a juicy, slightly sweet crunch, while the potatoes bring a soft, earthy balance. Both are usually cooked in the same pot or steamer as the crab, allowing them to soak up the flavorful steam infused with spices and shellfish essence.
We will have all your mallets and picking tools, but guests can bring their own as true picking professionals!
