Tops At Spar Bierfest is back

The Bierfest will be hosted inside a 4000-seater Bavarian Brauhaus festooned with festival décor direct from München. Modelled on the much-loved Munich Oktoberfest, the ever-popular Bierfest will once again serve up it's unique 'celebration of the suds', recreating the revelry, tradition and, of course, the tastes of this epic annual German celebration.

Fetching frauleins in dirndl skirts will greet guests with a smile; a live oompah band will blow the blues away and deliver plenty of first 'klaus' fun as revellers raise their stein glasses to the start of another year's fabulous festival of beer.

Hosted by The 'Mayor of Munich', local comedian and actor Brendan Murray, this year's Bierfest activities include the 'Tapping of the Keg', 'Best-Dressed,' and 'Mass-Heben' (stein lifting) - all set to the stonking tunes of SA party band, Me and Mr Brown.

#DrinkSmart, the Bierfest's responsible drinking programme spearheaded by Tops At Spar's mobile phone app, Dryver, in association with Good Fellas, Uber, Becks Non-Alcoholic and Jiguja detox drink, provides Bierfest patrons with a broad range of safe and affordable choices to drink responsibly and get home safely, including rehydration stations, Good Fellas membership and the Designated Driver Rewards Programme.
