Some people say, “I only drink in two occasions, when I’m thirsty and when I’m not.” Those are the folks who can down a cold one after a cold one after a cold one. And when are they most thirsty? That time of the year when all over the world, there is no shame in actually drinking every single day because… it’s Oktoberfest!!!
Celebrate the biggest and much awaited festival in Germany, and other parts of the world, including, MNL, Philippines, at the very place where it is BEST celebrated, Brotzeit German Beer Bar and Restaurant. They are bringing their A-game on with the Oktoberfestivities right here in Manila.

Brotzeit kicked off the Oktoberfest celebration with a ceremonial Keg Tapping and media preview at the Shangri-La Plaza branch last Friday, September 21, 2018. From hoisting 1L steins of German beer, digging deep into crispy pork knuckles and chanting along to folksy Oompah songs together, Friday night or any other night must be filled with joyful merry Oktoberfest parties – which have always been a fun and festive affair.
To bring more authenticity to the Oktoberfest celebrations, Brotzeit has brought in two (2) original festival brews: Weihenstephan Festbier a full, rich-bodied, seasonal lager, especially brewed for this season. This beer is known to represent the Bavarian way of celebrating. Deep gold in color, it is 100% natural full-bodied Bavarian Marzen, with full rich malt flavors. Paulaner has been brewing this beer since 1818, representing centuries of brewing tradition in a stein.
Both of these featured beers are no exception to the German Beer Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot); which is a collective name for a series of regulations that limit the ingredients of beer in Germany. Little known fact: beers brewed following the German Beer Purity Law seldom or never cause hangovers as the water and other ingredients used are very pure.
It’s all about the beer, beer, beer but for us Filipinos, these moments have to be accompanied by a festive meal as well, enter the specially-crafted OKTOBERFEAST Menu by Brotzeit.
