It’s not just any beer served at Munich’s Oktoberfest! The beer they’re drinking at the official festival comes from six traditional Munich breweries: Augustiner, Hacker-Pschorr, Hofbräu, Löwenbräu, Paulaner and Spaten. But you know what? We're not that picky. There are beers for every flavor profile and every taste. So whether you love a German festbier, a crisp light lager, a pale lager or one of the growing number of low- and no-alcohol options, there's a beer for you. And that's really what we think Oktoberfest is all about: celebrating with friends, family, coworkers and neighbors. Prost! More facts about Oktoberfest >> beerinstitute.org/prost-to-o…

This might go down in history as the best wedding ever… We’re talking about the October 12, 1810, wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen, who celebrated their marriage in the most epic way possible: With a giant beer festival in Munich. In fact, the celebration was such a huge hit with the people of Bavaria that it became an annual Munich tradition… one millions of people now celebrate every year as Oktoberfest. Beer: bringing people together—even to celebrate a 216th wedding anniversary. Find out more about Oktoberfest >> beerinstitute.org/prost-to-o…

Hey, why’s Oktoberfest in September? Oktoberfest used to be in October (which makes sense) back when it was founded in 1810 but, as the celebration grew, organizers shifted the festival earlier into late September to take advantage of warmer weather and longer days in Munich. (It also puts Oktoberfest in the harvest season: a great time to celebrate the natural ingredients, like hops and barley, that go into every beer.)

PROST to Oktoberfest! Did you know more than 6 million beer lovers descend on Munich every year, for the world’s most famous beer festival? Whether you’re celebrating at home, at your favorite bar or in a big tent in Munich (jealous!), one thing is clear: when you’re surrounded by good friends and cold beer, you’re guaranteed a good time.
