SanTan Brewing Oktoberfest | Lederhosen optional

Posted on: September 17th, 2012 by Taryn Jeffries No Comments

Chandler and Oktoberfest may not currently be synonymous, but San Tan Brewery is hoping to change that!

The 5th Annual San Tan Brewing Oktoberfest is set to invade the streets of Downtown Chandler on Saturday, September 29th from noon to 10:00pm. Oktoberfest has been celebrated since 1810 and is thick with tradition from the food, beer, festivities… and did I mention the beer?

The San Tan Oktoberfest will include live entertainment, a beer pong tournament, bag toss, stein races, keg rolling, keg stacking, tricycle races, brat eating contest and an arena just for the kids with bounce houses.

The Bavarian-style beer garden will feature San Brewing Company’s Oktoberfest brew — a traditional German Lager boasting a toasty strong malt profile with a clean and crisp lager flavor, ABV 5.5%.  Also, Von Hanson’s Meats & Spirits will offer a delicious limited-edition SanTan Oktoberfest bratwurst, a signature-style brat prepared with SanTan’s Epicenter beer. The
Oktoberfest brat will be featured in the bratwurst eating contest. Oh, and this little band that you’ve probably never heard of, Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, will be performing.

So, dust off your lederhosen and dirndl and get ready for a smorgasbord of good times at the 5th annual SanTan Brewing Oktoberfest. The festival will be located in AJ Chandler Park across from SanTan Brewing Company at 3 S. San Marcos Place, between Arizona Avenue and Buffalo Street.

Pre-sale admission tickets are available now for $15 at SanTan Brewing Company or online at santanoktoberfest.com.  Admission tickets will be $20 at the door on Saturday, September 29. Stay tuned to the SanTan Brewing Oktoberfest Facebook page facebook.com/santanoktoberfest  for more details, upcoming entertainment announcements and chances to win tickets.

A portion of the proceeds from the SanTan Brewing Oktoberfest benefit Ear Candy, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing youth access to music education.
