Our mission: Be the best Oktoberfest experience outside of Munich
We have a range of wines, spirits and soft drinks to complement our beers.
At Oktoberfest on the Common, we stock authentic German beers from Munich's very own Paulaner brewery (we are their only official UK Oktoberfest partner!) as well as UK beers from Local legends Jubel (Lambeth) and Sambrook's Brewery (Wandsworth).
