SUMMARY:Beechworth Oktober Fest
DESCRIPTION:Back for its 20th year\, Bridge Road Brewers’ famous celebration of Bavarian bier culture returns in 2025.\nBeechworth Oktoberfest is based around the legendary event held in Munich\, Germany each September. This is as close as you get to the real thing without forking out the dollars to fly to Europe. The authenticity of this event is bolstered not only by the traditional OhmPah band\, the outfits and the cuisine\, but by the beer brewed especially for the occasion. As is the tradition in Munich\, they craft a Marzen\, or Oktoberfest beer\, more than two months ahead of the event. This allows for the beer to age or ‘lager’ in the tank for a prolonged period\, resulting in a smooth malty lager\, perfect for such a celebration.
