Long Beach Oktoberfest features a choice of two sessions, each with limited attendance. Session one runs from noon to 2:30pm while session two begins at 3:30pm and ends at 6:00pm. Tickets for each session are sold separately and are currently priced at $25 and $30 respectively. Attendees receive a 5oz souvenir acrylic tasting mug. Activities include mug holding and giant jenga.

LB Oktoberfest also features delicious eats available for purchase from 3941 Tamales (German Tacos & Burritos) and Barrel’s Gourmet Sausages. And you can always visit one of The Pike Outlets’ many fine restaurants and/or bars! Proceeds Benefit the Long Beach Marine Institute & Make-A-Wish.

Long Beach Oktoberfest is a “boutique” tasting event with 10-12 breweries represented, not the 40-60 you find at large-scale events. However, the crowd will be smaller by comparison! All attendees must age 21. Sorry, no pets, strollers or children allowed.

Long Beach Oktoberfest is located at The Pike Outlets, 95 S. Pine Ave., upstairs above the Nike Outlet Store. Parking is available in The Pike Parking Garage for an additional fee. Additional information is available at www.tasteofbrews.com or by contacting brewmaster@tasteofbrews.com or (714) 375-1132.
