🍺 50+ Beers & Seltzers. Four Days to Explore.

One of the biggest reasons to make your way to FMBrew is the rotating selection of 50+ beers and seltzers.

Different pours will make appearances throughout the festival, so every day offers something a little different. If you have your eye on a particular release, keep an eye on the free FMBrew app for Saturday’s release and rotation schedule.

Among the beers highlighted for the festival are Schwarzbier, Vienna Lager, Düsseldorf Altbier, Pomegranate Hefeweizen, Chocolate Stout, Das Nutty Stout Nitro, Sweet Potato Pie Ale and Passion OYA, along with plenty more.

In other words, beer lovers may want to plan more than one visit.

🎸 Four Days of Live Music

The beer isn’t the only thing worth sticking around for.

The Oktoberfest entertainment lineup includes Ben Allen Band, Rock Republic, Austin James Band, Weaver & Wilkins, Matt Walden & Zack Couron, Edison Schetter and more.

Here’s a quick look at the musical highlights:

Thursday: Edison Schetter at 3 p.m. and Austin James Full Band at 6 p.m.

Friday: Weaver & Wilkins at 3 p.m. and Ben Allen Band at 7 p.m.

Saturday: DJ from 3–7 p.m., followed by Rock Republic at 7 p.m.

Sunday: Matt Walden & Zack Couron at 3 p.m.

So whether you’re looking for an afternoon outing or a night of live music, there’s something on the schedule.

💪 Saturday: Bring Your Stein-Holding Skills

Saturday is the big day—and there’s a little friendly competition involved.

The FREE Stein Hoist Competition begins at 5 p.m.

Think you can keep that stein in the air longer than everyone else?

Now’s the time to start practicing.

Even if you’re not competing, it’s a fun Oktoberfest tradition and a great excuse to grab your friends and cheer on the contestants.

🌭 Don’t Come Hungry

You’ll have plenty of options when hunger strikes.

Local food trucks will be serving throughout the festival, with vendors including The Meat Cottage, The Schnitzels, Wicked Streatery, South Pizza Co., Detour Diner, King’s Tacos & Burritos and more.

And Sunday’s Drunch gives everyone one last reason to come hungry.

Doors open at noon, with food, drinks and live music beginning in the afternoon.

🛍️ Want Oktoberfest Swag?

Don’t forget about the merchandise!

Commemorative Oktoberfest mugs and T-shirts go on sale Thursday beginning at 3 p.m.

If you want to take home a little souvenir from the celebration, don’t wait too long. Once the merchandise is gone, it’s gone.

🐾 Bring the Whole Crew

One of the best things about this celebration is that Oktoberfest at FMBrew is free to attend, family-friendly and pup-friendly.

That means you can gather your friends, bring the family and even bring your four-legged festival companion.

All that’s left is deciding which day—or days—you’ll be there.
