Pittsburgh's signature Oktoberfest kicks off Thursday, September 19th with a new Munich-style firkin-keg tapping VIP-only Party with music by the Polkamaniacs 4! Your ticket to the tapping includes a commemorative glass stein, two full stein fills and a buffet meal featuring both German and Pittsburgh favorites as prepared by our chef.
This fun and casual new event is one you can't miss.
Penn's owner Stefan Nitsch, who hails originally from Austria, felt compelled to bring the event to Pittsburgh: “I grew up surrounded by traditions such as this and it is my honor to bring this firkin-tapping to the people of Pittsburgh. This new event will really charge things up in a new way with the kickoff ceremony I always felt belonged at every Oktoberfest.”
