Come 16 January to 25 February 2018, Brotzeit is bringing the flavours and Gemütlichkeit (German for a feeling of warmth, friendliness, and good cheer) of Karneval to Singapore with a specially-curated Karneval menu, featuring festival favourites and traditional beer from the land of Karneval, Cologne. Brotzeit is also introducing their We Dare You! Brotzeit Challenge, a “Man Vs Food” sausage-eating challenge for a pair of friends to finish eating a half-meter sausage baguette together.
About Karneval
Karneval is a traditional German festival that dates back hundreds of years to mark the beginning of Lent. It is a time of eating, drinking and merriment, usually accompanied by a huge parade combining elements of a circus, masks and social satire. As part of the festivities, street vendors selling simple German fare such as pretzels and bratwursts, as well Karneval’s specialty beers, can be found on every corner to satisfy any hunger pangs.

Brotzeit’s Half-Meter Sausage Challenge
Brotzeit dares you to take on their Half-metre German Sausage Challenge. Teams of two will each have four minutes to finish a half-meter of Brotzeit’s Deutsche Halbmeter Wurst, featuring classic Nürnberger sausages, served with sauerkraut and potato salad in a baguette. That’s about as long as an entire adult forearm! Any team that completes the challenge within the stipulated four minutes will enjoy the sausage on the house, as well as bragging rights as Brotzeit’s Wurst Champions.
Karneval Festive Menu
With a friend, share a Zweierlei von Huhn (Duo of Chicken, $40) - a combination of half an oven-roasted chicken and half a golden fried chicken, served with fries and potato salad on the side. Alternatively, try out Brotzeit’s Yummylicious Trio ($24), which comes with 2 glasses of draft beers or 2 bottles of Kölsch beer (0.3L). The trio features a trifecta of oven-baked meatloaf, chicken schnitzel with rocket leaves, and German meat patty with gherkin and lettuce, all served on a single platter.
Can’t stop at one? Brotzeit’s selection of Deutsche Tapas (German Tapas, 3 for $15, 6 for $28, 12 for $45) will leave you spoilt for choice. Choose from a variety of 12 different bites: Bierbeisser, super food salad, spicy chicken sausages, currywurst, golden fried chicken, cheese spätzle, meatballs, seabass filet, fried mushrooms, meatloaf in mini kaiser roll, chicken schnitzel in mini kaiser roll, and their meat patty in mini kaiser roll.
Beer-lovers will definitely be able to appreciate the Karneval-exclusive Gaffel Kölsch (1 bottle at $10, bucket of 5 at $48, 5L party keg at $98), a fresh specialty beer from Cologne with a delicate blend of a bitter yet pleasant and slightly hoppy taste. Brewed according to a time-honored family recipe and the German Purity Law of 1516, Gaffel Kölsch is clearly distinguished from all other Kölsch brands.
