Independent London craft brewery Anspach & Hobday have announced the launch of their Oktoberfest celebration, Oktoberfest at The Croydon Tap.

Oktoberfest at The Croydon Tap takes place on Saturday 18th September from 12 noon-7pm. Tickets are priced at £5 with your first beer on Anspach & Hobday and are available from the brewery’s website. h

The event will bring a taste of Bavaria to Croydon with pretzels, Lederhosen, traditional music and decorations combined with the launch of Anspach & Hobday’s quartet of Oktoberfest specials.

Anspach & Hobday’s Oktoberfest range include The Festival Lager, The Rauchbier, The Hefeweizen and The Gose.

Anspach & Hobday’s Bermondsey mixed fermentation brewery and taproom, The Arch House, will be holding a non-ticketed celebration to mark the end of Oktoberfest on Saturday 2nd October. 

The Pigeon, Anspach & Hobday’s craft beer bar and bottle-shop in Camberwell, will also have the beers on throughout the period.

Head of Production and Co-Founder Paul Anspach said: “It’s no exaggeration to say that for the brew team, Oktoberfest really is the most exciting time of the year.

“Whilst we love experimenting with new and exciting ingredients, flavours and techniques, we all have an immense respect for the tradition and time honored methods of brewing and production that make German beers so very special.

“Oktoberfest gives us a chance to engage with these beers, and our focus is always on producing honest, respectful representations of these great styles.

“We are especially excited this year to be hosting an Oktoberfest celebration at our Croydon site as there really is something special about drinking beer precisely where it is made.”
