Kempinski In the News

Beijing, 10 October 2024 – Kempinski Hotel Beijing Yansha Center proudly presents the grand opening of its 31st annual Oktoberfest at Paulaner Bräuhaus. From October 10 to October 27, 2024, guests are invited to experience 18 days of authentic Bavarian culture, with an exciting mix of hearty German cuisine, freshly brewed beer, lively music, jubilant dancing, and non-stop entertainment.

The festival will begin with the traditional keg tapping ceremony, where the first barrel of Paulaner’s specially brewed Golden Festbier is cracked open. As the golden beer flows, and the crowd raises their steins with a resounding “Prost!” (cheers!), the celebration officially kicks off. This is more than just an event – it’s a genuine Bavarian folk festival, where guests can savour the flavours of Bavaria while embracing the festive spirit.

The culinary offerings stay true to Bavarian traditions. Each evening, guests can enjoy classic dishes like Paulaner’s famous homemade sausage platter and rosted crackling pork knuckle served alongside freshly baked pretzels, while savoring the rich malt flavors of special Golden Festbier brewed according to the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516.
