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.
