The Bier Stein Celebrates Oktoberfest On September 19th
Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany kicks off on Saturday, October 19 and the people of Eugene will not be left out when one the city’s best beer bars, The Bier Stein will be hosting its own Oktoberfest celebration the exact same day kicking off at 11:00am. For this year’s festivities The Bier Stein is expanding the idiom of Oktoberfest. In addition to the classic lagers like those served from giant tanks beneath tents in Munich, The Bier Stein is including the fruits of Oregon hop farmers’ labor, the tasty and limited available wet and fresh hop beers.
