Guten Tag and Hallo! 

Join us for the Inaugural Birmingham Zoo Oktoberfest on Saturday, October 1st from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm, featuring seasonal autumn brews, live music, and German food favorites!

Beer lovers will enjoy a huge selection of beverages from the finest German breweries, including Hofbrau and other authentic Oktoberfest selections and libations.  Attendees will delight in tasty food selections from local food trucks, our Nourish 205 restaurant will host build-your-own Brats, and Wild Burger will serve Oktoberfest-themed snacks and small bites – all for an additional charge.

Wear your lederhosen or dirndl and enjoy the fun including authentic lawn games like the stein hoist, LIVE polka music, and the crowning of Mr. and Mrs. Oktoberfest 2022!  We can’t wait to see you for this one-of-a-kind evening for 21+ at your Zoo!

Per ABC regulations, Zoo Brews will operate with a “Penny-A-Pour” system! Each sample will be worth one penny. Guests will drop their penny into a bucket at each brewery booth in order to receive your sample. If you don’t have pennies, we will have a penny redemption booth at each vendor station, where you can cash in larger coins for pennies! All pennies collected will be donated to our Support Your Zoo’s Animals fund. Several cash bars with full-size beer and wine will be available for additional purchase.
