Oktoberfest Bethlehem, Pa (2nd Weekend)

Oktoberfest Bethlehem, Pa (2nd Weekend)

Still making plans for this weekend? Take our advice! Ale Street News recommends you go to the SteelStacks Oktoberfest in Bethlehem, PA! We did! Last weekend.  It was Fantastic! It is not just a beer fest. Don’t get me wrong there is plenty of beer to go around. Check out the Brewer’s Village for the full tasting experience (See more below)

The difference here is the great, happy, uplifting, Bavarian oom-pagh MOOD of the festival. The beer stein races, the authentically perfectly dressed German dancers, the music, ritual chopping of the wood, the great selection of authentic German foods, deserts and other styles and the beer. Before long you can’t help but sway to the music and start humming, singing dancing along..

Brewers Village: From German-style marzens to autumn-inspired pumpkin ales, the hand-crafted beers of the Keystone State’s award-winning craft breweries take center stage as the Brewers’ Village at Oktoberfest returns for its fourth year. Guests enjoy a diverse array of Oktoberfest’s, limited-edition and seasonal offerings. All attendees receive a commemorative sampling mug and have the opportunity to meet the breweries’ staff and brewers, as well as enjoy the delicious food, fun, and games of Oktoberfest, now in its seventh year.
