It’s the beginning of Fall which can only mean one thing: Oktoberfest is upon us!
Did you know Oktoberfest originated from Munich, Germany, and dates all the way back to 1810? Suppose you’ve ever had the good fortune of partaking in the seasonal festivities of Oktoberfest. In that case, you can thank Bavarian Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Sachsen-Hildburghausen, as it started as an
occasion to celebrate their marriage.
It’s a great time to get together with friends and family while also enjoying some of the best brews. So great, it’s no wonder why this celebration has been going on for more than two centuries! But what if you’re not a big beer drinker and still want in on the fun? We’ve got you covered! We’re shaking things up this Oktoberfest with a few delicious beer-based cocktails. Who says you can’t get creative with beer?
As always, you can find all the products you need to whip up your Oktoberfest cocktail menu on eRNDC—Republic National Distributing Company’s online ordering platform. Sign in and place your order today. Grab your dirndl or lederhosen and enjoy these drinks this Oktoberfest.
Prost!
