🇩🇪 BLUEJACKET OKTOBERFEST 2026!
Saturday, September 19th | 12:00PM - 5:00PM
O'zapft is! On Saturday, September 19th, Bluejacket will transform
into a Bavarian Beer Hall & Garden for our annual Oktoberfest bash!
Join us from 12-5 pm, as we toast the yearly release of Hill House
(Märzen), plus the debut of Reflections (a dry-hopped Festbier w/
Hersbrucker hops)! In all, we’ll feature 8 different German-inspired
beers – including unfiltered brews poured straight from traditional
gravity kegs (Stichfass) for a true taste of Franconia!
Enjoy live Oompah music from The Alpine Players, a Stein holding
contest, live Alphorn music from Shawn Hagan (and blow the Alphorn
yourself!), Oktoberfest games, and a scrumptious selection of
Bavarian-inspired dishes – pretzels, schnitzel, beer brats, and more.
Admission is free, with food and drinks priced a la carte. Most beers
will also be available to-go. Lederhosen encouraged!
