🍻Oktoberfest At A Winery? YEP!

Star Spangled Brewing Co's Oktoberfest has been a BIG hit for a while now. So much of a hit that more space is needed!

So... their 6th Annual Oktoberfest is going to be held at Beachaven Winery. The event takes place October 7-9 and will be held under FOUR CIRCUS-SIZED TENTS. 3-10pm Friday, Noon-10pm Saturday, and Noon-10pm Sunday.

What can you expect?!

Glad ya asked.

German Polka Music from Beatrice and Derrol. Plenty of dancing. Contests for who can hold the most beer steins. Axe throwing from The Flip'N Axe. Not to mention an Alpine horn-blowing contest.

In 2021, the event saw around 2,000 people. This year, with MORE space and activities, it should beat the old attendance record.

All proceeds benefit the Tunnel To Towers Foundation. Their goal is to raise $15k.

It's $5 to get in. Kiddos are free.

VIP tickets are selling out, but are still available for $35, online. This taps you a ticket for all weekend plus a glass 1-Liter beer stein with a free fill-up.
