Trappist on Thursday

At Oaktoberfest, we had the pleasure of drinking Linden Street Brewery’s Burning Oak Black Lager. It is DEE-licious! As Linden Street’s website describes, it is a “toasty, slightly sweet, light-bodied black beer.” And where can you find Linden Street Brew’s delicious beers? The exclusive brewery based in the Port of Oakland serves its beers at Brown Sugar Kitchen (West O), Fireside Lounge (Alameda), Penelope (Oakland), Chez Panisse (Berkeley), and The Trappist (of course).

Tomorrow night, The Pie Truck will be parked somewhere nearby The Trappist from 11:30pm until we sell out.

German Biergardens of Fruitvale Past

The Pie Truck will be at Oakland’s own Oaktoberfest in the Dimond this coming Saturday from 11am-6pm.
In celebration of a time when German beerhalls lined MacArthur Blvd in Fruitvale, they will feature delicious local breweries including: Lagunitas, Rubicon, Pyramid, Trumer Pils, Dempsey’s, Jupiter’s, Moylan’s, Drake’s, Pacific Coast Brewery, Thirsty Bear, Speakeasy, and Santa Cruz Ale among many others. There’s also going to be a Homebrew competition!

The Pie Truck will have the Steak Pie and the no-meat Veggie Sausage Pie along with sides of Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage and a delicious Potato Salad.

Come on out and join us in a celebration of the Dimond’s past and present.

If you are in the West Oakland area, swing by!

Oakland Fridays!

We’ve been hard at work over here in the pie world and we’re working on making more regular appearances out there in the world. We’ve been keeping the pie calendar pretty full and we’ve got some outings coming up. We’re catering a private event tonight at Addis Creson in Berkeley with some other street food vendors and it should be a good time.

Last weekend we came out for a little bit in Oakland on Saturday night and had a lot of fun. We’re going to try to start hitting the streets in Oakland more regularly and tomorrow (Friday 10/2) we’ll be in two spots. You can find us earlier in the evening (approximately 6pm-8pm) at the Art Murmur somewhere around Telegraph and Grand. We are hoping to be parked somewhere on Valley St. but to be sure, keep an eye on our twitter feed or ask around at the Murmur.

After that (if we have pie left to sell) we’ll be down at The Trappist on 8th St. between Broadway and Washington from around 10pm until we’re sold out.

Friday 10/2

Oakkland Art Murmur: 6-8pm
Trappist: 10-1am

Cole Valley Fair!

Eat Real Fest

We just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone who came out and supported us and the festival this past weekend in Oakland. It was definitely a huge success and so much fun. It was really great to see so many people out and enjoying so much good food. The festival was really well organized and run and we want to give huge props to the organizers for putting on such an awesome event!

Sorry to everyone who missed out on the meat and veggie pies – we completely underestimated the demand for pie! We’ll be sure to have enough next time you see us out so just hang tight for now… you’ll get your pie fix soon.

We’ll keep you posted on our whereabouts around town. We’re going to be out more and more as we get things set. There is even talk of a possible PieTruck sighting this Friday at the Oakland Art Murmur… you never know. We’ll let you know.

Thanks again for making Eat Real a success!

Countdown to Eat Real!

Less than 2 days until the Eat Real festival in Jack London Square! Are you all ready?? It’s our official pie debut and we’re getting excited. We’ve been working our way out from under a 200 pound ball of dough but we’re starting to see the light! Ok maybe a little exaggeration, but we’ve been slinging some serious dough around the kitchen in preparation for this weekend’s party in addition to a lot of other stuff and it’s all starting to come together.

We’ve prepared more than 50lbs of delicious meat pie filling with only the best Marin Sun Farms beef. We have a pile of amazing veggies working hard on stuffing themselves into little pockets of flaky dough to become our Creamy Zucchini pies and we have an army of our super sweet and tart Key Lime Shortbread pies ready to go. We hope you’re all ready to do some serious pie-eating this weekend!

Ji has been working furiously on The Pie Truck’s business side taking care of all the logistics and, most recently, securing us the official rights to our name and she finally has come to an agreement with the very awesome Alameda pie delivery truck. You can find him here: http://alamedapie.wordpress.com/ where you can find his menu and ordering information. We’re all very happy that we were able to come to an agreement and look forward to fueling the Bay Area pie movement together!

Get ready for the party this weekend – we’re looking forward to seeing you all Saturday and Sunday. We’ll keep you posted as it gets closer to Saturday’s kickoff.
