Enjoy Authentic German Beer

The centerpiece of any Oktoberfest is the beer. Our festival features a selection of authentic German brews from Paulaner. The Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce will be serving four varieties of beer in 16-oz glasses. Or you can purchase our 1-liter Paulaner mug, which sells out every year. Feel free to bring your own stein; we will be happy to fill it for you.
