The Oktoberfest Brewers Love!

We have been attending the Oktoberfest at AUHCC since before we opened with just a tent telling people, “coming soon”. Now this is one of the few events that we the owners still make it a point to be at. With it being right in our back yard and the support AUHCC has given us from the beginning we continue to enjoy this great event!

Prost!!

This Oktoberfest event is the premier beer festival in Eastern Alabama. I look forward to attending every year and seeing both the crowds and number of beers for trial grow. I have attended several other beer festivals throughout the state and none treat their guests and suppliers as well as the Auburn Hotel and Conference Center. Prost!

Of all the festivals I attend, The Hotel at Auburn’s annual Oktoberfest is one the premier events & I look forward to it each year. The festival is top notch in every aspect – from the cuisine, location, helpful staff, music and decorations. I can’t speak highly enough about the Auburn craft patrons who attend as well, many in authentic German garb. The hotel rolls out the red carpet for the breweries and extends every courtesy to ensure our work and stay is as enjoyable as possible. If you can’t make it to Munich, this is the next best thing!
