New to Fremont Oktoberfest? Or can’t remember last year? Here’s how it all works.

Here’s what you need to know: 

  • Fremont Oktoberfest requires a ticket and is 21+ EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
  • No kids. No babies. No exceptions.
  • Dogs are welcome (and encouraged!) to join you on Sunday Only.

Read on because we are about to school you on how to do Oktoberfest, Fremont style. For real, this is the best page to read on the whole website.

WTF ARE THESE TASTING TOKENS YOU SPEAK OF?

Tasting Tokens
Token Cards are included in General Admission (5 tokens) and Grand Admission (10 tokens), and are used like money to purchase tastes of beer with your 5 oz mini-mug, which is also included with your admission. Each token is good for one fill-up of your mini-mug. Got it?

How to Use Them
We have over 100 seasonal beers to taste, so explore the Beer Lineup, find beers you want to try, give the volunteers your mini-mug and a token, and you’re all set.

Worried About Running Out?
Oh no, out of tokens?? Don’t panic, you can buy more at our Merchandise Booth.

WHAT’S UP WITH THE MINI-MUG?

Mini-Mug
A 5 oz commemorative acrylic mini-mug is included with General Admission and Premium Admission.

How to Fill Up Your Mini-Mug
We have 100 seasonal brews to choose from inside of the festival. Decide what you want to try, give the volunteers your mini-mug and token card, and they’ll fill you up.

Don’t Forget
Tastes add up — don’t be deceived by its small stature, the mini-mug packs a punch (in the face).

WANT TO GO BIG?

Buxom Steins
5 oz not enough? No problem. We have larger options available for purchase:

  • Full-liter steins – $25, $15 refills
  • Full-liter boots – $25, $15 refills

Sweet – How Do You Go Big?
Purchase your BIG options inside the festival. Pay separately with card. Remember, Tasting Garden admission is required.

What if You Only Want A Stein?
Already know you don’t want the mini-mug? We know your type. Skip the tasting and purchase our Festival Only Admission (entry only with no tasting tokens), then go straight to the Steins and Boots Tent!

Don’t Forget
Big steins can only be filled in the Steins and Boots Tent; you will need a mini-mug to enjoy tastes elsewhere in the Tasting Garden. Easy, right? And if you change your mind, you can always buy a mini-mug and tokens at the Merchandise Booth.

GASP — YOU DON’T WANT TO DRINK BEER?

Don’t worry, we have ciders and seltzers available too.

ARE YOU A SKEPTIC? (“REALLY ONLY 10 TOKENS?”)

It’s okay, sometimes you just need it spelled out for you. Here you go…. your Grand Admission gets you the equivalent of three-four beers at the bar, plus music, partying in the streets, over 100 beers to choose from, and drinking for a good cause. That’s a pretty good deal for craft beers. So take that.

Still feeling cheated? Fine, have a promo code for two extra tokens on us – enter SKEPTIC when you purchase tickets online.
