What is Oktoberfest?

Oktoberfest is fundamentally about beer. On offer is the one-and-only Oktoberfest beer called Bavarian Festbeer. It is a dark golden lager with brownish hue and comes with a touch of sweetness and a strong and slightly bitter aftertaste. The beer has travelled 993 miles from a respected brewery in Bavaria to Edinburgh in a 24-thousand-litre beer tanker.

During the whole process, the beer is always kept cool in 2°C to guarantee its freshness. Then, it is pumped into guests’ glasses through a refined craft system.

Where will it take place?

Princes Street Gardens West, Red Square

When is it?

5-9 October 2016

The second hotel in the city centre to have its own rooftop hives has told us their roof is just buzzing! They are supporting the bee population by installing bee hives which are home to 180,000 bees which will produce very local honey indeed for use in the G&V Hotel.
