Oktoberfest season is nearly here—and we can’t wait to celebrate with you during the Fort’s weekend-long Oktoberfest celebration, Saturday, Sept. 16 (12-10pm) & Sunday, Sept. 17 (12-6pm)!

Keep an eye out on our social for ongoing beer announcements and any last-minute news, but here’s what you need to know:

•We will be doing beer tickets, on sale Wednesday, Sept. 13. More info on that below.
•We will be selling steins! (And yes, you may bring back steins from last year.)
•Unsinn Machen Oktoberfest will be back on tap and in 4-packs (Also keep an eye out for us in your local liquor stores!), and that’s just one of our 16 taps!
•Chick Wings and Things food truck will be onsite Sunday, Sept. 17.
•Oktoberfest-themed fun includes Men’s & Women’s Steinholding Competitions (sign up early here!), axe-throwing, a live oompah band, and more!

Let us know you’re coming by RSVPing on FB here.

THE BEER

The full taplist will be available by the end of the week and posted on our social. And while beer tickets are only for draft pours, we will be selling to-go, including crowlers, growlers and 4-packs.

There will be NO FLIGHTS. You may buy 5oz beers individually.

THE TICKETS

Just like last year’s event, we are selling beer tickets. In fact, you can buy them right now in our taproom. (No online purchases.) These tickets will be the ONLY way you can get an on-site pour during Oktoberfest weekend — and yes, they do expire after the 17th. You may not use them for to-go. There is no entry admission/cover, but the first thing you see when you enter will be the beer ticket line & wristband line in our hallway. If you’re purchasing to-go only, you may bypass this line, but everyone drinking onsite needs a wristband.

Beer Ticket Pricing:

1 ticket/$4 (5oz pours)

2 tickets/$8 (12oz OR 16oz pours)

a row of 10 tickets for $35.

Tax included.

THE MUSIC

The Fort & Friends Oompah Band is reuniting for year 2! See Andrew, Lindsey, Joe and more perform “Roll Out the Barrel” and more classic German tunes.

THE STEINS

Our new 2023 half-liter steins will be available starting Wednesday, Sept. 13. For $18 you get a stein + two drink tickets. At this time, that is the only way to purchase a stein. You may bring in last year’s half-liter stein from the Fort, but no non-FNBC steins will be filled, and no steins larger than 16oz/half-liters.

Any beers on tap under 8% may be used for stein fills/refills.

THE RULES

Our regular brewery rules apply, which means absolutely no outside alcohol. Tip your beertenders. Be nice to each other. We are expanding our outdoor premise for this event, but please no drinks outside the fence and no smoking inside the fence.

We are looking forward to what’ll hopefully be a beautiful day filled with clinking steins and lots of lederhosen!

Prost!
