Willkommen to Oktoberfest 2023! (16th September 2023 at 5pm)

Keeping to the tradition of a star tapping the first keg, Schloss welcomes radio stars, Ed James and Gemma Hill to do the honours. Albert’s Schloss have shined off the steins ready for the debut keg to burst its banks with the force of Ed and Gemma and the sound of Albert’s Oompah band followed by the usual Albert’s Schloss debauchery.

Bier Superiors

The spektakulär Oktoberfest guest selection starts with:

  • Spaten Oktoberfest, traditionally the first bier barrel tapped in Germany, opened by the Mayor of Munich every year.
  • Hofbräu Oktoberfest; this one packs a punch at 6.3% and is the strongest of Albert’s Oktoberfest biers.
  • The refreshing yet characteristic Lowenbrau Volbier 5.2%, and Hacker-Pschorr 5.8% or Bavarian Heaven, the unique taste created by the variety of Bavarian barleys.
  • Paulaner Munich Helles, Erdinger Weissbrau and the newly launched Hofbrau Session Helles will also be available throughout the festivities.
