In case you didn’t get the memo, its Oktoberfest Season! The classic German beer celebration and all the dirndls, lederhosen, pub games, music, and beers that entails. Last weekend one of the first Oktoberfest events of the season was held at Occidental Brewing, and this weekend Chuckanut Brewery’s Portland and Burlington location host parties, while Oregon’s largest one in Mt. Angel also gets started with 4-days of festivities.

Chuckanut Brewery will celebrating Oktoberfest at both of their locations on Saturday, September 14th from noon to close. This fun, traditional family style fest includes something for everyone. There will be contests of strength and skill (Liter Holding), Eye Hand coordination with Hammerschlagen and more. Wear your Oktoberfest costumes and start vocalizing in case there’s enough singers to enter the Yodeling contest! The big party celebration for the coming of fall happens on Saturday, September 14th, 2024 at Chuckanut Brewery South Nut Tap Room (11937 Higgins Airport Way, Burlington) in Skagit Valley and P. Nut Beer Hall (920 SE Caruthers St) in Portland.

Chuckanut Brewery’s traditional Oktoberfest encourages everyone to have a good time. Entry is free for all. Besides all the contests and chicken dancing you can have fun playing garden games and board games. There will be lots to do all day and into the night. Chuckanut’s award winning German style biers will be on tap along with some food pop ups to satisfy your appetite. Don’t worry about the rain because we’ll have a big ole tent at South Nut in Burlington and all the indoor spaces at P. Nut! And of course there will be lots of Oktoberfest music in case you want to polka!

And did we mention lots of Chuckanut beer? Our Fest Bier and Marzen Fest will be on tap along with Pilsner, Kolsch, Helles Lager, Schwarz Lager and other award winning Chuckanut beers. Don’t forget to pick up some Liter and half liter mugs to take home for your own Oktoberfest. Prost!
