A popular biergarten in Asbury Park sustained major damage following a recent storm, causing the business to postpone Oktoberfest events.
Asbury Festhalle & Biergarten experienced serious flooding after severe storms on Sept. 29. The business is now in the rebuilding process.
This time of year, the biergarten typically hosts a popular Oktoberfest celebration which they said is postponed indefinitely. The biergarten also missed out on business from Asbury Park’s zombie walk this past weekend.
News 12 New Jersey’s Isabel Litterst spoke with the owners Monday and gathered more information about the damage and what it means for the business.
"We could see the water just running through the basement like it was a river," owner Rich Crocker said.
