Tempe’s own Four Peaks Brewery takes front stage as title sponsor of the 41st Annual Oktoberfest October 11-13. Four Peaks Brewery and their award-winning beers and ales will help the Tempe Sister Cities organization to attract record crowds to Tempe Beach Park where music, food and great beer make for an event that you won’t want to miss.
Oktoberfest is a signature event in the city of Tempe that draws more than 150,000 attendees each year.
Look for Four Peaks Brewery to debut their new Oktoberfest Lager, a German influenced full-flavor lager that will pair well with the traditional Oktoberfest foods such as bratwurst, schnitzel and pretzels. On Friday, October 11 Tempe Mayor Mark Mitchell will kick off the festivities by ceremoniously tapping the first cask of Four Peaks Oktoberfest Lager.
In addition to the Oktoberfest Lager, Four Peaks Brewery will also serve the rest of their award winning lineup, including their Bavarian Hefeweizen as well as their crowd-pleasing Sunbru, 8th Street Ale, Kilt Lifter, Hop Knot, Peach Ale and Oatmeal Stout.
“Four Peaks is excited to support Tempe Sister Cities and one of the longest standing events in all of Arizona,” states co-owner Jim Scussel. “Our focus remains on Arizona, our customers and events which benefit worthy causes. We’re very excited about the partnership and potential it offers for both Four Peaks and our hometown.”
Oktoberfest attracts a wide range of attendees thanks to the great weather and many varied events. Children’s activities, live bands and a 5K fun run help to draw people from around the valley. Four Peaks Brewery will bring a true local flavor to the many beer tents while patrons celebrate the annual Bavarian ritual on the shores of Tempe Town Lake.
Admission to Oktoberfest is free. For more information go to tempeoktoberfest.com
