🍂 What to Expect at Ramstein Oktoberfest 2025
Whether you’re a seasoned Oktoberfest veteran or a curious first-timer, Ramstein Brewery is offering something for everyone at this year’s event:
✅ Ceremonial Keg Tapping
The festivities will kick off with the Mayor of Butler ceremonially tapping the first barrel — a classic nod to German tradition that officially opens the celebration. There’s nothing quite like hearing the mallet strike the keg and that first pour cascading into a glass.
✅ First 100 Guests Get a Free Oktoberfest Sampler Glass
Arrive early! The first 100 attendees will receive a limited-edition Ramstein Oktoberfest sampler glass, a perfect keepsake (and drinking vessel) to remember the day. These glasses go fast, and seasoned fest-goers know it’s worth lining up early.
✅ Food Trucks Galore
No good Oktoberfest is complete without amazing food to pair with your brew. Expect a lineup of food trucks offering everything from German bratwurst and soft pretzels to New Jersey’s favorite street fare. Whether you’re craving something savory or sweet, you won’t leave hungry.
✅ Live Music & Fall Vibes
The event will feature live music performances that set the perfect festive tone. Grab a pint, find a seat, and enjoy the beats as the brewery’s outdoor space transforms into a lively fall beer garden full of community spirit.
✅ Limited Edition Cans & Growlers To-Go
Want to take the celebration home with you? Ramstein will offer limited cans and growlers of their Oktoberfest brew — but quantities are, of course, limited. Be sure to pick up a few to keep the party going long after the last song plays.
🍻 The Beer Behind the Bash: Ramstein’s Oktoberfest Brew
At the heart of it all is the beer — and Ramstein’s Oktoberfest Lager is a seasonal favorite for a reason. Brewed in traditional Märzen style, this beer is malt-forward, smooth, and subtly sweet with notes of toasted bread and caramel. It’s the kind of beer that pairs perfectly with a crisp autumn afternoon, good food, and even better company.
Ramstein Brewery has long been celebrated for its commitment to quality and authenticity. Their adherence to traditional German brewing methods — along with a modern flair — sets them apart in New Jersey’s ever-growing craft beer scene.
