Seb & Sheila's Guide to Oktoberfest Beer

If you couldn't tell by our outfits (and giant beer mugs) this month's theme is Oktoberfest!!

Now, we know what you're thinking - Oktoberfest in September?? Well, contrary to what the name describes, much of Oktober fest is actually celebrated in September (typically an 18 day event, from end of Sept to beginning week of Oct). This way, we share all of our festive tips in time for you to throw your bash!

To get started, we thought we had to start with the basics of Oktoberfest - the beer!! Traditional Oktoberfest in Munich, there is really only one overarching rule: Only beer from Munich’s six main breweries are allowed to be served. This means, only beer from the following breweries can be sold at Oktoberfest:

Augustiner
Hacker-Pschorr (available at LCBO & Beer Store)
Hofbräu (available at LCBO)
Löwenbräu (available at LCBO & Beer Store)
Paulaner (available at LCBO & Beer Store)
Spaten (available at Beer Store)
