Blackbird Brewery Oktoberfest

Prost! Blackbird Brewery’s 4th Annual Oktoberfest is back, and we’re transforming the brewery into our own little slice of Germany in Wake Forest for one of our biggest celebrations of the year.

We’ve always had a love for traditional German beer styles, and Oktoberfest is our chance to go all in. Expect special German beer releases filling the taps, a lively beer-hall atmosphere, staff dressed for the occasion, stein-hoisting competitions, Stick & Poke beers, and plenty of Oktoberfest traditions mixed with the kind of fun you can only find at Blackbird. Come dressed for the occasion, grab a stein, and settle in for a full day of beer, food, music, and celebration.

LIVE MUSIC

We’re filling the brewery with live music from the moment the doors open through the final hours of the party.

Tom Neuhauser | 12pm–2pm
We’re starting Oktoberfest the traditional way with live accordion music from Tom Neuhauser. He’ll bring an unmistakably German soundtrack to the taproom and set the beer-hall mood for the afternoon.

Jimmy Deve | 3pm–6pm
Jimmy Deve takes over with an acoustic set fueled by his infectious personality, crowd-friendly favorites, and knack for turning any performance into a party.

Adam Lee Decker Band | 7pm–10pm
Then we’re turning up the volume. Local favorite Adam Lee Decker and the Adam Lee Decker Band will close out the evening with a high-energy full-band performance to keep Oktoberfest rolling well into the night.

THE BUTCHER’S MARKET | 12pm–8pm OR UNTIL SOLD OUT

An Oktoberfest celebration deserves a feast to match. One of our favorite food partners, The Butcher’s Market, will be serving a special Oktoberfest menu packed with beer-hall-worthy favorites:

• Blackbird’s Pacifica-Infused Cheddar Bratwurst – served with sauerkraut and whole grain mustard on a brioche bun
• SmashTober Burger – two smash patties smothered in beer cheese and caramelized onions on a pretzel bun
• TBM Steak & Cheese – thinly sliced signature steak tips with white American cheese
• Hot Dog – with or without chili on a brioche bun
• German Potato Salad
• Gurkensalat – cucumber, dill, and sour cream dip served with pita chips

Between the German beer flowing from the taps, live music filling the brewery, stein-hoisting competitions, costumes, great food, and a packed beer-hall atmosphere, our 4th Annual Blackbird Oktoberfest is shaping up to be one of our biggest yet.

Raise a stein with us and prost to Oktoberfest!
