OKTOBERFEST | 21-29 SEPTEMBER 2024
O'zapft is! Oktoberfest is back and bigger than ever! This year's festivities will take place at both our West Midtown and East Cobb taprooms with unique activities taking place at each.
This year's nine day autumnal celebration kicks off 21 September with games in the beer garden and the release of the Oak-Aged Oktoberfest Märzen.
A full schedule of activities, celebrations, food vendors, music, and more are outlined below. Check back here for the latest details as many events are subject to change and adjustment.
Oktoberfest is FREE to attend, which is to say there are no tickets required for entry. Simply come and buy beer as normal.
Zicke Zacke, Zicke Zacke, Hoi Hoi Hoi!
THE BEER
OKTOBERFEST
Our Oktoberfest is a traditional Märzen-style lager brewed using German malts with Magnum and Tettnang hops. We lager Oktoberfest for at least six-weeks to mature the moderately toasted bread flavors, smooth sweetness, and easily drinkable profile.
OAK-AGED OKTOBERFEST
After Oktoberfest finished lagering, we selected an unfiltered segment for an autumnal upgrade by soaking it in oak spirals. This enhances the flavor with a subtle, almost imperceptible whisper of vanilla and toasted wood, a gentle caress on the tongue that adds a layer of complexity to the already satisfying malt backbone.
MAẞKRUG MUG
A limited amount of 1L maßkrug mugs will be available to purchase starting 21 Sept.
$25 for the maßkrug mug + 1L pour
$15 for the maßkrug mug alone
