Oktoberfest at OMNI
2025-09-13 07:00 - 23:00 | Omni Brewing, 9462 Deerwood Lane, Maple Grove, MN, 55369, United States
OMNI Oktoberfest returns to Maple Grove! Your favorite event of the year is back and better than ever. Come to the taproom beer garden on September 13th to savor some autumnal beer (in a boot, of course) and party hard to forget that we’re about to enter six months of winter.
We’ve got plenty for you to enjoy throughout the day, like:
🥾Oktoberfest Beer: All. Day. Long.
It’s in the name, so it would be ridiculous of us not to have it, right?
Enjoy this German Marzen-style beer from a glass boot stein, and take the boot with you when you’re done. Our treat.
-$20 gets you a stein and a pour of smooth, rich Oktoberfest.
-$15 if you just want the stein (for collecting?).
-$12 for every refill of the aforementioned glass boot stein.
Did we mention we have steins?
🍻 Beer Garden: 12PM-9PM
Beer is good. What’s even better is enjoying your beer outdoors on a gorgeous September day, soaking in the last rays of sunlight before the snow falls.
Our Beer Garden will be shaded, spacious, and perfect for enjoying a brew (or a few) with some friends.
🎶 Live Music from Local Artists 🎶
Enjoy your Oktoberfest beer-from-a-boot with live music and good vibes throughout the day.
The Set List:
12pm – 2pm: The Squires Band
3pm – 5pm: Grunge Unplugged
6pm – 8pm: Pickle!
The Menu (no, not the movie)
OMNI Pizza
Served all day. Just how you like it.
🌭 Brat Stand 🌭 12PM-7PM
Are we too late to make a “brat summer” joke? We’ll be slinging sausages from 12pm to 7pm. Pairs well with a big ol’ stein of dark beer.
🍺 Stein Holding Contest: 2:00pm
Step 1: Grab a stein.
Step 2: Hold that stein with your arm extended for as long as you can.
Step 3: Win a $50 OMNI gift card.
The only catch: you have to be able to do it longer than anybody else. We’ll give away a gift card to the last male and last female standing, so hit the gym, work on those delts(?), and come ready to win.
And if you don’t win…well, you still have a full stein of delicious Oktoberfest. Drink up and start plotting for next year.
👗 Drindl & Lederhosen Contest: 6:00pm
Das drindl ist gut, ja? We don’t speak German, but that’s probably what we’ll say to you when you win our Drindl & Lederhosen contest.
Put on your Oktober best for Oktoberfest and you could win a $50 OMNI gift card. Two gift cards are up for grabs: one for the guest best dressed in a drindl, and one for the best dressed in lederhosen.
Winners voted on by the crowd!
🎯 Yard Games
It’s not a party at OMNI if we don’t put out the bags boards and other games. Toss ‘em, win ‘em, brag about ‘em.
We’ll see you at the beer garden (and don’t forget your lederhosen)!
Prost! 🍻
