Get your annual dose of Ohmpah pah pah!

Back for its 15th year, Bridge Road Brewers’ famous celebration of Bavarian bier culture will take place on October 12+13!

Beechworth Oktoberfest is based around the legendary event held in Munich, Germany each September. This is as close as you will 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 cuisine, but by the beer brewed especially for the occasion – As is tradition in Munich, we craft a Marzen, or Oktoberfest beer, more than two months ahead of the event. This allows for the beer to age or ‘lager’ in tank for a prolonged period, resulting in a smooth malty lager, perfect for such a celebration.

Bridge Road founders, Ben Kraus and Maria Frischmann, have strong links to the Oktoberfest. Maria hails from the heart of the Tyrol region in Austria and has worked as a bier-maid at the Munich Oktoberfest. Ben gained his brewing knowledge in the same region and has overseen Bridge Road’s beer for a little over 14 years.
