Sierra Nevada Brewing Could Deliver Oktoberfest to Your Door
With so many Oktoberfest festivals having been cancelled this year due to COVID-19, Sierra Nevada Brewing is giving fans the chance to party on through its festive “Oompahgram” deliveries.
That’s right. Sierra Nevada is bringing the Oktoberfest experience to some lucky fans’ doorsteps this season complete with a live traditional oompah band performance, Oktoberfest gear, and a complimentary 6-pack of this year’s Oktoberfest lager.
Yes!
“Oktoberfest is beer’s biggest celebration. While the festival itself might be cancelled, the Oktoberfest spirit can still live on at home,” said Sierra Nevada Communications Director Robin Gregory. “Let’s take a break from our daily routines and give beer-lovers the Oktoberfest they deserve.”
Sierra Nevada has already kicked off the “Oompahgram” deliveries in California and is now giving fans the opportunity to get involved.
Craft beer fans who visit Sierra Nevada’s Instagram @SierraNevada between September 15 – October 1 can nominate a friend for a festive visit by tagging them in the comments of the Oktoberfest video and including a description of why they deserve an “Oompahgram” delivery.
