Ceremonial Firkin Keg Tapping!

Celebrate the official start of Oktoberfest in Munich with a ceremonial keg tapping at Bitter Pops! On Friday, September 20th, at 7:00 PM, we’ll be tapping two official Paulaner Oktoberfest Bier Firkin Kegs. This is the same beer they tap to open festivities in Munich!

When you purchase the Pre-Sale ticket you will receive a .5L Stein at the event and one pour of the Paulaner Ceremonial Oktoberfest Beer. No ticket is needed to join us for this iconic Bavarian tradition in our Biergarten!

Must be 21 years or older to participate.
