SanTan Brewing‘s annual Oktoberfest – the festival – is still a few weeks away, but the downtown Chandler brewery already has tapped its annual Oktoberfest – the beer.
The outdoor festival, now in its fifth year, takes place Saturday, Sept. 29. It starts at noon and runs until 10 p.m. in A.J. Chandler Park.
The highlight of this year’s event will be a 7 p.m. performance by Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers. The nationally known local band will play for nearly 2 hours.
Other activities will include a beer pong tournament, bag toss, stein races, keg rolling, keg stacking, tricycle races, bratwurst-eating contests and an area for the kids with bounce houses.
Tickets are available now for $15 at SanTan or online. Â Tickets will be $20 at the door.
While you wait for Sept. 29, you can enjoy SanTan’s Oktoberfest-style beer, a traditional German lager  with an ABV of 5.5%, which has just been tapped at the brewery.
