Beer sponsor

Beer support from Robert “Chick” Fritz, Inc.

Robert “Chick” Fritz, Inc. helps support the beer side of Oktoberfest as the festival’s beer distributor sponsor.

That sponsor relationship matters because the beer operation depends on more than taps and tents. It takes planning, delivery, signage, equipment, staffing coordination, and people who understand how the weekend actually works.

Local support

Oktoberfest works best when sponsors are part of the local relationships that keep the weekend moving.

Food areas open as staffing allows

Food service can vary slightly by day, setup, and volunteer staffing. The public schedule gives the main plan, and each area opens as soon as the stand is ready to serve guests.
