FORT MYERS, Fla. - Floridant -- Fort Myers Brewing Company's popular Oktoberfest returns with a four-day event featuring craft beer, authentic German food and live music from Thursday, Oct. 6 through Sunday, Oct. 9 in Fort Myers.

Fort Myers Brewing is featuring festivities for families, friends and pets to enjoy all weekend long. A wide selection of locally brewed ales, stouts and lagers are on tap as well as several first-time releases of Fort Myers Brewing's signature Oktoberfest beers, to be announced in the coming weeks. The brewery will also host a stein-hoisting competition, a traditional Bavarian endurance contest in which participants must hold a full stein in their outstretched arm as long as possible without spilling any beer.

Food truck rallies will feature German-inspired eats from popular trucks such as Currywurst, The Nosh Truck, Wicked Streatery, The Meat Cottage, Kings Tacos & Burritos and Mobstah Lobstah. Eight live performances will take place featuring Chasing Denver, The Yabo Brothers, Hat Trick and more.
