Crisp air, warm drinks, crunchy leaves underfoot—it must be Oktoberfest season in Minnesota. Join us for a one-day-only celebration of all things cozy, festive, and fall at 22 Northmen Brewing Co.

Our annual Oktoberfest brings the community together for a full day of good beer (and cocktails/mocktails, wine, and cider of course!), good food, and good company. From stein-holding contests and pumpkin-launching demos to live music, bonfires, and brewery tours, there's something for everyone—whether you’re here to compete or just sip and take it all in.

What to expect:

MUSIC

• Live music with 3 bands (to be announced soon)

COMPETITIONS - SIGN UP @ ACTIVITY TENT

• Stein Relays
• Stein Holding

FOOD

• Stoke Wood-Fired Pizza
• Sizzle Food Truck

• And more food trucks! (to be announced soon)

ACTIVITIES

Bundle up, bring your crew, and make some fall memories at the brewery. It’s a celebration that feels like a small-town harvest festival—just with better beer.
