The UK’s premiere beer festival, London Bierfest, is back in 2011 for a fun-filled, stein-fuelled three day celebration of fantastic food, spectacular entertainment and of course, premium quality beer. Held from 5-7 October, the hearty event transforms Old Billingsgate Market into a traditional Bavarian Bier Hall, buzzing with over 1,300 people each day enjoying the truly unique experience. Packages of tables of ten are on sale now from www.londonbierfest.com

The London Bierfest, now in its ninth year, has firmly established itself as the most authentic Oktoberfest experience in the centre of the beautiful, bustling capital. Hosting more than 40,000 guests since it began in 2003, the event is a firm favourite in the hospitality calendar and ideal for entertaining clients and colleagues or groups of friends looking for a fun, memorable evening out.

Tables are served by Heidis, Helgas and  Helmuts, the London Bierfest’s wonderful waiting staff, all dazzling in traditional Bavarian dress. Germany’s finest draught beer Bitburger provides a mouth-watering selection of their most popular beers including Bitburger’s Premium Beer, Licher Weizen (Light Wheat Beer), Kostritzer Schwarzbier (Black Beer) and Bitburger Drive, all brewed using traditional methods and premier ingredients. A traditional Oompah band performing brilliant Bavarian bar room stompers accompanies the authentic spread of German cuisine and unlimited steins of beer on offer. Bavarian favourite foods include wörst, rye bread and bayerischen.

No Bierfest would be complete without costume. Guests are encouraged to immerse themselves in the spirit of Oktoberfest with a range of fun German accessories that not only provide mementoes to take home but most importantly provide a plethora of laughs and photo opportunities on the night. Merchandise is available to buy online, or can be purchased on arrival at the event from the London Bierfest Shop.

With 16,000 litres of beer consumed and 15,000 sausages eaten each year, London Bierfest brings a true slice of Munich to a city of beer lovers – the perfect escape from the office grind.
