Of course, no Oktoberfest celebration would be complete without beer! The SanTan Brewing Oktoberfest will feature a Bavarian-style beer garden where thirsty patrons will enjoy SanTan’s Oktoberfest brew—on tap and for the first time ever, in cans too! Oktoberfest is a traditional German Lager boasting a toasty strong malt profile with a clean and crisp lager flavor, ABV 5.5%. Also, SanTan’s core beers and a variety of seasonal beers will be available.

Other highlights include the Oktoberfest games! This year, event organizers have added two new games, the FastMed Buddy Carry and the One Community Wiener Dog Races. Returning games include the Global Bikes Tricycle Races, Von Hanson’s Meats & Spirits Brat Eating Contest, and Local First Arizona Keg Stacking as well as beer pong and bag toss games.

A portion of the proceeds from the SanTan Brewing Oktoberfest benefit St. Joseph the Worker, a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to assisting the homeless, low income and other disadvantaged individuals in their efforts to become self-sufficient through quality employment.  For more information about St. Joseph the Worker, visit www.sjwjobs.org.
