Best 2022 Oktoberfest Beer: Ohio

At the official Oktoberfest celebration in Munich, you’ll find exactly six breweries represented. The dominance of these core beer brands does not allow for new entries to the competition. This international event is rich in German heritage and local traditions.

Ohio has its own legacy of German immigrants settling within its boarders, and Oktoberfest festivals are found throughout the buckeye state. In that spirit, Ohio breweries represent Oktoberfest beer with their own unique brands and brews.

“It’s always an exciting time when you have one of the largest up and coming breweries in the state,” Swaim said. “Brett Zimmerman, Eric Anderson, and their team… are  very determined, very smart guys in the industry. It’s really exciting that… these breweries are looking at our product and saying – “you guys know what you’re doing – we want to partner with you.”
