Charlotte Oktoberfest 2008

The Carolina BrewMasters, Charlotte's non-profit homebrew club, proudly announces the 10th annual Charlotte Oktoberfest Beer Festival will be held Saturday, September 27, 2008. This year, we will be back at Memorial Stadium which offers a spectacular view of Uptown Charlotte.

More than 350 breweries will be represented locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally. In 1999, Charlotte Oktoberfest was launched to help expose the Southeastern craft brewing community to a wider audience. What started out as a very small event(200 people) has grown to over 6,000 people in 2007.

Major benefactors of this event are our local charities. Last year we gave $50,000 to 3 local charities: National M.S. Society, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and A Child's Place. This year's charities have yet to be determined, but it is our goal to keep all money in the local community.

Please visit our website www.charlotteoktoberfest.com for additional information as well as volunteer opportunities. Tickets are not yet on sale, however, all sales will be processed online. Be sure to get your tickets early as it will sell out once again.
