Dig your lederhosen out of the cupboard or strap yourself into your dirndl – Oktoberfest is here again! For those who love drinking from steins and eating pretzels the size of your face, head over to The Bavarian at Broadbeach for the best Oktoberfest party outside of Munich.

Oktoberfest is a great excuse to get work mates out of the office, or friends into costume, with a range of group and corporate packages, set menus and platter options on offer. Throughout the six weeks of celebration groups can opt for one of three special Oktoberfest menus – there is a three-course menu ($45 per person), a four-course menu ($60 per person) and a shared feast menu ($64 per person). 

The Bavarian will also be pouring five famous Oktoberfest biers throughout the festival: Hofbräu München Oktoberfestbier, Löwenbräu Oktoberfestbier, Spaten Oktoberfestbier, Paulaner Oktoberfestbier and Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest Märzen, which have been imported direct from Bavaria.

Guests can sign-up to become an Oktober Boss, proving their dedication to this renowned annual festival by taking four foodie challenges. Those who tick off each challenge will achieve the ultimate Oktober Boss status and receive a limited-edition Oktoberfest t-shirt and stein and a VIP invitation to pre-drinks before the closing party on Saturday October 27. They will also go in the draw to win the most authentic Oktoberfest experience of them all: a trip to Munich, Germany.
