Here’s what this post isn’t. This post isn’t to tell you what Oktoberfest beers are all about, you can find that other places. It’s also not to give you some sort of history lesson about how Oktoberfest started, or the history of the German festival (you can find that stuff on other websites). This post is for the actual beers. This is a list of every Oktoberfest beer in Cincinnati for 2020.
Every year, the Oktoberfest season in this city just gets better and better. It’s a good time to be a lager fan. This year, Cincinnati Oktoberfest beers are on a completely different level. We’ve got more beers, more of them in packaging and they are better than ever. It’s amazing.
I do my best to keep track of all of them, but there is no promise that I’m not missing anything here. If you’re checking this list out and notice that something is wrong, or missing – please, please, please let me know!
This year is weird. Oktoberfest doesn’t look like it has before – a lot of the big outdoor celebrations full of revelry and imbibing are cancelled… but don’t let it stop you. Fill your fridge, fill your glass, celebrate the season.
