Widmer's 9th Annual Oktoberfest

With Labor Day now behind us, we all know what we’ll be receiving in the months ahead. But before the nasty, rainy season hits, the month of  September is one to cherish as a beer fan. Hops are being harvested and this is the month we celebrate with our brethren from Germany. Well Munich to be exact. Yes, its Oktoberfest season.

This year marks Widmer Brothers Brewing’s 9th annual Oktoberfest block party, an event that draws more than 5,000 beer enthusiasts and is the largest Oktoberfest celebration in Portland. The festival features a variety of craft beers, German-style food, and live music throughout the day.
