guten tag! payette’s annual oktoberfest celebration is back!
FRIDAY, September 19 » 5 - 10 PM
SATURDAY, September 20 » 2 - 10 PM
[Sunday 9/21 we will honor leftover tokens for bier, but will not be selling additional steins or tokens. And the event will move entirely into the Tap Room & Beer Garden that day.]
Ladies and lads, Oktoberfest is BACK! We're kicking things off the same weekend as Munich — and throwing down two full days of bier, brats, and Bavarian fun!
Break out the lederhosen and dirndl dresses, and celebrate Oktoberfest at Payette Brewing!
COST
ENTRY » Free — All ages welcome!
OKTOBERFEST BRANDED 20oz STIEN » $7 each | Fill not included
TOKENS » $7 each | Use tokens for bier fills:
• 1 token = 20oz fill
• 1 token = 2 Acme Bakeshop pretzels
• 1 token = 1 bag of Bavarian peanuts
PURCHASE » Skip the line and order ahead! Preorder your steins, and tokens online. Presale closes Wednesday, September 17th.
PLEASE NOTE » All stein and token purchases are final — no returns or refunds.
Bringing a Payette stein from a previous year? Great! You’re welcome to use it, but you’ll still need to purchase tokens for fills. Steins are available first come, first served until we run out! If you’re using an old one-liter Payette stein it will cost 2 tokens to fill up and old 1/2 liter steins will cost 1 token to fill up.
(Must be Payette Oktoberfest branded steins or boots to use at the event).
PRO TIP » Bring cash! During high-volume events, our POS and Wi-Fi try to keep the party going, but it never hurts to have a backup plan.
LADS & LADIES

DOGS » Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome, but due to the high volume of people, we encourage you to leave your furry friends at home.
