In Munich, Oktoberfest runs from September 21st through October 6th. In honor of this tradition, Beergarden’s Oktoberfest celebration will run the same dates. We may not know the ins and outs of all the German traditions, but we do know German beer! Each day of this event will feature a different brewery and host festive activities and live music. All 5 of the food trucks will be featuring German-inspired dishes. It will be over 2 weeks of jam-packed Oktoberfest festivities.
Each year beergarden makes commemorative glassware for our Oktoberfest celebration. In years past we’ve had 1/2 liter to full liter clear glass steins and boots. For the 5th Annual Oktoberfest we will carry commemorative ceramic steins while supplies last. Buy it full of your favorite Oktoberfest beer or just buy the stein.
Munich traditionally kicks off Oktoberfest with the mayor pouring the first pint to open the festival. To honor this tradition, City Councilor Claire Syrett will pour the first pint at 5pm on Saturday, September 21st.
Food Specials during Oktoberfest will include:
Moi Poki- Hot Crab Beer Cheese Dip with Bavarian Pretzels.
Bounty Meat and Cheese- Longs Meat Market Bratwurst served with beet kraut and a flight of mustard and a specialty Streusel
Lani Moku Grill- Kastuschnitzel topped with a braised cabbage, served over rice!
