Oktoberfest is a celebration running from September 16 through October 3, and while we'll be celebrating all month long we plan to kick it off on 9/16 with live music all day, fantastic German-style food, special seasonal beers, and more.

BEER
This year, we're brewing up TWO special seasonals for a total of FOUR GERMAN-STYLE BEERS ON TAP:

- Dukes of Bavarian Hefeweizen
- Kayak German-Style Pilsner

STEINS
Each year we release a specialy stein for the event, and this year is no different! We'll have full 1 LITER STEINS for purchase, filled or unfilled, while they last. They sellout every year, so if you don't want to miss out, preorder on our shop today.

MASSKRUGSTEMMEN (STEIN HOLDING)
Every hour or so, we'll be hosting stein holding contests to test your strength and endurance! Be on the lookout for a few other fun activities as well.
