Occidental Brewing Oktoberfest

Occidental Brewing, a German-styles specialist in Portland's St. Johns neighborhood, runs a single-day Oktoberfest with a flat cover that includes a mug and a first pour. Festival Brass plays two sets bracketing an afternoon live-music slot, and a stein-holding competition takes place mid-afternoon. The beer list leans on the brewery's Festbier alongside a fresh hop pilsner, with non-alcoholic options and food for sale, and children and non-drinkers get in free.
