This September, Bitter Pops is transforming its patio into a traditional Bier Garden with the help of Paulaner-Hacker Pschorr to celebrate Oktoberfest with a full lineup of events and German-inspired food.

Keep the Stein Week - Oktoberfest Kick-Off 

  • September 10th - 15th 
  • The official start of Oktoberfest. From September 10th through the 15th, traditional German Lagers served in liter steins that you get to keep. Full liter pours of Paulaner and Hacker Pschorr will be available all week.

  • Friday, September 20th 
  • 7:00 PM 
  • On Friday, September 20th, at 7:00 PM, they’ll be tapping two official Paulaner Oktoberfest Bier Firkin Kegs. This is the same beer they tap to open festivities in Munich. Limited tickets for this event will be available at bitterpops.com starting September 1st. Ticket holders will receive a .5L Stein and one pour of the Paulaner Ceremonial Oktoberfest Beer. No ticket is needed to join for this Bavarian tradition in the Bier Garden.

  • Test your strength at the Bitter Pops 3rd Annual Stein Hoist Competition! On September 21st at 8:00 PM, 10 participants will compete to see who can hold a full stein the longest. The winner will take home prizes from Paulaner-Hacker Pschorr and earn the title of the strongest in West Lakeview/Roscoe Village. Each participant will receive a liter of Oktoberfest beer and get to keep their stein. Enter the raffle for a chance to compete.

Closing Ceremony - Solo Stove Giveaway

  • For the closing ceremony, they’re giving away a Solo Stove, an outdoor fireplace. Join the event to receive your raffle ticket—the winner will be announced that evening, and you must be present to win. If you’re the winner but can’t take the Solo Stove home that night, they’ll hold it for you for up to a week. 

Featured Oktoberfest Menu: 

In addition to the events, they’re offering a special Oktoberfest menu throughout September with the Fest Burger, featuring two smash patties (beef & pork), hickory smoked Alpine Gruyere cheese, sauerkraut, and Dusseldorf mustard, all served on a toasted Turano pretzel bun. And a Bavarian Pretzel, served with a side of Paulaner Oktoberfest Bier cheese and Dusseldorf mustard.
