Samuel Adams Octoberfest is BACK!
Samuel Adams Octoberfest is back, and this year it’s your time to stein! Join us in celebrating the return of this fall classic with Steinhoisting competitions, killer food pairings, and Oktoberfest celebrations around the country.
Oktoberfest is a brief moment of fall beer drinking beauty. The world's biggest fest started in Munich, Germany in 1810 to celebrate the marriage of the crown prince of Bavaria to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. The party was so off-the-chain it became an annual 16 day festival from Mid-September to Early October. It's a time celebrate beer for beer's sake, with food and friends to kick off cooler weather.
