O’zapft is! Sips about to get real here on Vinial as Penn Brewery’s Oktoberfest 2024 is back with what promises to be a biergarten full of Gemütlichkeit –you don’t want to miss out.
Holy Schnitzel! A new little event– Pittsburgh’s signature Oktoberfest event kicks off Thursday, September 19th with a new Munich-style firkin-keg tapping VIP-only Party and music by the Polkamaniacs 4!
Then on Friday, September 20th Penn Brewery’s Oktoberfest opens to the general public. No cover, free parking! Admission is always free. So grab a friend and stop after work for a pretzel, beer and live Bavarian Music. Or make a weekend out of it because Sundays are bigger than ever in 2024 with full Family VIP Packages. We will be featuring not only Bavarian bands throughout the property but also horse-drawn carriage rides, airbrush face-painting and a balloon artist.
We’ve got four floors here at 800 Vinial transformed into a little Munich with traditional favorites including local handmade pierogies, sizzling kielbasa, sauerkraut, hot German potato salad and of course our freshest Oktoberfest beer served within view of the kettle in which it was brewed. Our signature Penn Brews on tap this year include Oktoberfest, Penn Pilsner, Penn Gold, Penn Dark, Pumpkin Roll Ale, Lemon Shandy and try our Penn Pumpkin Cider! Liquor and Wine also available.
Our lineup of bands includes The Heritage Band (formerly Autobahn), Kevin Solecki, The Kosmix, Tom Allen, Mon Valley Push, Wally Merriman, Northcoast Mix, Jack Tady Polka Band and the Zolkas Band–all of them still wondering who the "fest" is Alice?!
