Summer has come and gone at least anecdotally—but we’re not ready to cede fridge space to pumpkin beers just yet. Give us a mug of that malty, amber Märzen, and you’d better make it a 1-liter maß (a huge, heavy dimpled glass mug). We can’t all make it to Munich for Oktoberfest, but, if you live in Pennsylvania, you’ve got a ton of options. The Commonwealth has a lot of German heritage, so you better believe we know how to do Oktoberfest right. Scroll through these celebrations and start marking those calendars. Go ahead. I’ll wait.

Something we missed? Is your brewery hosting an Oktoberfest event? Feel free to contact us and we’ll update the list!

Ready. Set. Prost!
