Cincinnati’s Oktoberfest Beer Roundup [For 2024]
Written By: The Gnarly Gnome
If you are new around here, you might not know how much I’m obsessed with Oktoberfest beer and the whole Oktoberfest season. It’s pretty insane. I make a very conscious effort to get my hands on as many of the local Oktoberfest beers as I possibly can, and I even run every one of the packaged Oktoberfest beers through a massive bracket to figure out which one that I love the most each year.
It’s crazy… I might be a little crazy, actually. I recognize that a lot of folks not only aren’t able to get to all the spots around, but aren’t even aware of some of them that exist. Because I’m so nuts about this – I make a list to help out the best I can! It’s gotten a little out of control in the last few years (in the best way possible).
This year’s list is going to be another great one! Let me know if you see one that has been released or confirmed that isn’t on my list! Keep checking back; this list will only grow throughout the Oktoberfest season!
Also, a quick thing to note… I included our local breweries and our not-so-local taprooms on this list. I know that these aren’t all “local” beers. It’s ok.

Thanks!
