Millions across the globe travel to the heartland of Bavaria every year to experience the authentic traditions of Oktoberfest, a celebration well known for its beer and brats. What many don’t realize, though, is that major metropolises closer to home often offer their own iterations of the festival that rival the real thing.

Lucky for us in the Twin Cities, every autumn, Minneapolis puts on an Oktoberfest event. And, many taprooms throughout the city even brew their own Oktoberfest beers to participate. Oktoberfest Bier: Taste the Difference The name Oktoberfest doesn’t just refer to the festival; rather, Oktoberfest refers to a specific style of beer that’s brewed once a year for the celebration. Containing about 5.5 percent alcohol by volume, the traditional Oktoberfest beer is a gorgeous color that ranges from dark to copper. Usually, an Oktoberfest beer is known as a “Marzen,” which refers to the time of the year that the beer is originally brewed—March. It is then refrigerated for keeping over the summer until the start of the festival. Typically, the taste of hops in an Oktoberfest beer is mild. In some versions, malted barely is used.

While many of Minnesota’s breweries wont be serving an authentic Oktoberfest beer, what is most important in Oktoberfest is to celebrate the season and in this regard Twin Cities taprooms have chosen to follow the Oktoberfest tradition. Take a Taproom Tour This Year for Oktoberfest in Minneapolis For the uninitiated, a taproom isn’t just a place to get sloshed; it’s a place where tradition, taste, and the art of brewing come together in a quaint and intimate setting.

Taproom goers can sample the breweries’ unique beer selections without worrying about having to wear lederhosen. With the recent surge of taprooms throughout our beautiful twin cities, Minneapolis now provides more opportunities than ever before to experience the culture of beer and its seasonal specialties. And there’s no better way to ring in the end of the summer than with a tour of the taprooms on your very own party bus.
