We are thrilled to announce our return as the Official Craft Beer of Cleveland Oktoberfest, taking place August 29 – September 1 and September 5 – 6, 2025 at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds in Berea, Ohio. The long-running cultural event was voted USA Today’s #1 Best Oktoberfest in 2023, and celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2025.

GLBC will serve a variety of draft offerings including acclaimed Oktoberfest, flagships Dortmunder Gold Lager and Midwest IPA, and Northeast Ohio exclusive Cold Rush Premium Light Lager. These beers will be available throughout the entire fairground, with additional selections featured on tap in the Great Lakes Brewing Co. Bier Garten, along with a full lineup of entertainment.

As part of the sponsorship, GLBC is also proud to present Cleveland Oktoberfest’s Great Lakes 5K Bier Run & One Mile Walk on Monday, September 1. This annual race benefits University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital. Details and registration:
