Oktoberfest is one of our favorite times of year. In contrast to you hopheads out there, The Mass. Brew Bros. lean toward malt-forward beers and when you can get these malty beverages served up in huge steins, well, we’ll be there to clink and drink to our hearts content! Although neither of us has been to the mother-of-all Oktoberfests in Munich, Germany, we feel that Massachusetts has plenty of local fests that capture the spirit of the original raucous celebration of Bavarian culture.
In this blog post we are attempting to include as many local Oktoberfest celebrations as we can. By clicking any of the following links below you can get details on the event, including date, time, and food options. Many events require tickets and may sell out, so act fast!
If you are aware of an Oktoberfest celebration in Massachusetts that we didn’t mention, leave some details or a link to the fest in the comment section below.
It’s time to lace up your lederhosen, don your dirndl, and join us in Bavarian beer bliss. Prost!
