Raise a boot as Oktoberfest returns to Carwyn Cellars!
Sat 3 & Sun 4 October 2026
We’re filling our hallowed beer hall with 25+ taps of the finest German beer styles, from the best of German and Australian breweries. Our favourite beer event of the year, we always go BIG and this is no exception. We’ll have more delicious German grub than you can shake a wurst at, a steinholding competition, Ayinger on tap for the first time & beer by the boot!
What's on:
🍻 25+ Taps of German beer styles (this year a HUGE 19 genuine German imports will be pouring!) - Crispy, Light, Bold, Dark, Wheaty, Strong, Smokey, you name it, we'll be pouring it!
🍻 Oktoberfest Food Specials - German beerhall food classics being served all weekend long!
🍻 Ayinger Beer Garden - Taking over our beer garden taps is @ayinger_privatbrauerei, a historic family-owned Bavarian brewery. This is the first time kegs of Ayinger have made it to Australia!
🍻 The Stein Holding Competition is back – Sign up on the day for the Masskrugstemmen. Start pumping beers now & get in peak form for our Stein Holding Comp - you could win a German Bier Mixed Pack & get your name etched into eternal glory on our winners plaque!
