Inspired by the original Oktoberfest Märzens brewed in March and lagered in caves until September, we also brewed ours in March and will debut it at this year’s Oktoberfest celebration. The first German gravity keg will be tapped at noon to commemorate the start of our celebration. In addition to our Oktoberfest Märzen, we will also be releasing our Festbier, which more closely resembles the type of Festbiers you'd enjoy at the official Munich Oktoberfest today.
Upon arrival, please make your way to one of two ticket booths we will have where you can purchase drink tickets, special 1L German beer steins to drink out of, and other merchandise. We will have both our six month lagered Oktoberfest Marzen and our Festbier available in four-packs of 16oz cans to-go beginning at 12pm.
