2024 Washington DC and Extended Region Oktoberfest Guide

Howdy everyone! Oktoberfest season is upon us once again. We are lucky to live in an area with so many fantastic breweries and communities that love their German heritage.

Oktoberfest List:

I am still awaiting a response from several Breweries and Groups on if/when they will be holding their festivities this year. Of note, Lovettesville is not having its celebration this year, and it is one of the largest in the region (no idea why).

There are also some local(ish) festivals included in the document. I have also included a Google Maps version of the list if you want to go roadtriping!

If you see anything missing or needing to be updated from the list, comment and I will get it updated. Prost!

Can anyone recommend a good brewery in the Salem/Roanoke area?

I will be traveling through the Salem/Roanoke area in late May and was wondering if anyone can recommend a good local brewery. Also, if they sell individual cans. Thanks!

Richmond Bottle Shops w/ good selection of single cans/bottles

I am going to be (very briefly) visiting Richmond and am looking for a bottle shop that does a make your own six pack or at least has a good selection of local craft that’s available to be bought as a single.

Thanks in advance!

Opening Day @ Patch Brewing (Gordonsville, Va)

Patch Brewing Company is holding its Phase I opening on September 18, 2021. Come and see the only Virginia brewery with a baseball field, a dog park and a children's play area.

We will be pouring our initial four beers as well as cider and wine. We have a food truck in the afternoon as well as live music from 2-5pm. All members of the family are welcome, as well as dogs on leashes.
