GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO 1810, OKTOBERFEST
WAS BORN FROM ONE OF THE MOST TREASURED
CELEBRATIONS WE PRACTICE TODAY – WEDDINGS!
Crown Prince Ludwig married Princess Therese of SachsenHildburghausen where their royal families threw a massive
festival for the wedding. Proclaimed as the wedding reception
of the ages, more than 40,000 people came out to wish the
newlyweds well and enjoy the free beer and horse race that
was held in a large meadow just outside of town. The following
year, thousands of party goers continued to come out in
celebration of the couple’s anniversary.

Because of the overwhelming success
of this royal party, it became an
annually celebrated event. Fast forward
to today, more than 200 years later,
Ludwig’s and Therese’s anniversary
is still celebrated all over the world
in what is known as Oktoberfest.
Although the horse races stopped in
1960, the tradition is still as strong
and popular as ever but none come as
close to the original as Hofbräuhaus
Chicago. Customarily in Munich,
Oktoberfest is held from the third
week of September until the first
Sunday in October due to the nicer
weather in September. However, to
make sure everyone has a chance to
experience the world’s greatest party,
ours lasts until October 31st.

LIQUID GOLD
GLAZED-OVER & CINN-FULLY DELICIOUS
If you’ve never experienced Oktoberfest before, you may
be wondering what all the fuss is about. It’s a tradition
that has lasted over two centuries and centers around
everyone’s favorite brew, Oktoberfestbier – a full-bodied
lager that is brewed from purified water, high-quality malt
and perfected hops to create its crisp, toffee sweetness
and wheat-like aroma. Sporting a 6.3 percent alcohol by
volume, it’s easy to see why this beer has people thirsting
all year for Oktoberfest.
This Oktoberfest, follow your nose to Hofbräuhaus Chicago!
The Oktoberfestbier isn’t the only tradition that has carried on
for over four centuries of celebrating. Along with our authentic
Bavarian cuisine, including our world-famous jumbo pretzels
and Schnitzels, fresh-roasted almonds and pecans fill the
air with their sweet cinnamon scent. Our roasted nuts are
served hot and are perfect when paired with any of our cold
Hofbräuhaus Chicago brews. These seasonal confections will
be hard to put down. Grab ‘em while you can!
