5 September 2018, Hong Kong SAR, China – A signature event since its inception in 1992, the 27th Marco Polo German Bierfest kicks off on 17 October and will run for 24 public nights until 10 November. The event – which garnered the Silver Award for ‘Best Event Team’ at The Marketing Events Awards 2018 presented by Marketing Magazine – brings über fun to guests by the award-winning event team, against the breathtaking backdrop of Victoria Harbour.

Partygoers at Hong Kong’s longest-running outdoor Oktoberfest get dressed up in traditional lederhosen and dirndl creating a wonderfully authentic ambience. The nightly fun hits a high note when Die Notenhobler band from Germany plays folk and oompah tunes and hosts interactive dancing and drinking games. Along with a variety of entertainment, guests can enjoy authentic Bavarian dishes, including the best crispy pork knuckles in Hong Kong, freshly cooked nightly – and, of course, the finest German beers.

 

Most Popular Beer – Erdinger Weißbräu

Marco Polo German Bierfest proudly serves the highly popular ERDINGER beer. The world-famous German brewery has been creating superb wheat beers since 1886, including Erdinger Weissbier with citrusy notes and a fresh after-taste, and the full-bodied Erdinger Dunkel. Marco Polo German Bierfest is also the only venue in Hong Kong to exclusively offer Fischer's Helles, known for its clean malt flavour. Plus, there will be limited quantities of the special-edition Erdinger Oktoberfestbier, with a gold colour and seasonal fruit notes, that is produced once a year for the festival, ensuring guests enjoy a genuine Oktoberfest vibe in Hong Kong. 

There are many ways to say “Prost” at the Marco Polo German Bierfest! In addition to beer, there is a wide selection of other beverages, such as Jägermeister, Jägerbomb, red and white wines. Non-alcoholic energy drinks, juices and soft drinks are also available.

Guten Appetit!

Last year, Marco Polo German Bierfest served 52,440 litres of beer, 21,360 pretzels and 14,953 roast pork knuckles. For the 2018 edition, our culinary team will prepare nightly mouth-watering culinary feasts featuring authentic German dishes, such as Roast Pork Knuckle Served with Braised Red Cabbage and Gratinated Potato (HK$185), Pan-fried Sausages “Nürnberger” Style with Sauerkraut and Mashed Potato (HK$150), Roast Herb-marinated Half Chicken with Carrot and Potato Salad (HK$160), Pan-fried Salmon Cutlet served with Creamed Spinach and Boiled New Potato (HK$160), and Roast Lamb Leg with Garlic Served with Braised Red Cabbage and Gratinated Potato (HK$165).

Capping the hearty feast is an array of traditional German desserts, such as Apple Strudel with Vanilla Sauce, German Cheesecake with Forest Berry Compote, Black Forest Cake and Fresh Strawberry Tart with Ice Cream, all served at HK$85 per portion.

Die Notenhobler Band from Germany

Since 1994, Die Notenhobler Band from Germany has been the official band of the Marco Polo German Bierfest. The rousing musicians wear original Oberkrainer clothes as they sing traditional tunes and play hearty folk music. Their entertaining antics along with popular drinking competitions and traditional games, such as the Alphorn-blowing Contest and Chicken Dance, create a truly memorable ambience for partygoers.

Band Show times: 7:30pm – 11:00pm
