Oktoberfest 2023 at BrewDog Fortitude Valley
Say prost to steins, sauerkraut, pretzels and pork knuckles, all to Oompah tunes, in a Scottish brewery's Brisbane beer bar.
Overview
Germany might've invented Oktoberfest, but celebrating the occasion has well and truly become a global affair. So, of course you can now head to a Scottish brewery's Brisbane beer bar to listen to Oompah tunes while pairing steins and pork knuckles — plus sausages, sauerkraut and pretzels as well — over two big September days.
At BrewDog Fortitude Valley, the boozy German-themed festivities are taking place across Friday, September 29–Saturday, September 30. In Munich, the beer fest arrives in September, too — and BrewDog's Brissie version hits for Queensland's spring long weekend. There'll be beers. There'll be music. There'll be the appropriate bites. And, there'll be all the theming as well, giving the venue's beer hall an Oktoberfest revamp.
Tickets cost $20, which gets you your first stein, with BrewDog pouring German-style lagers as well as wheat beer and pilsners (and its usual menu). After that initial drink, you'll pay for what you sip — and also the dishes lining your stomach (with both vegan and vegetarian options available).
The fun runs from 4–11pm on each day, with lederhosen-clad, accordion-playing three-piece band Continental Chill providing the soundtrack from 7pm nightly.
