Oktoberfest (2016) at 1 Utama Shopping Centre



[ADV]
Malaysia’s Hottest Bloggers actually became a digital media agency proper when we were engaged for Oktoberfest back in 2011 and this continued the following year as well. As such, we have lots of fond memories attending the Oktoberfest parties especially the big ones at 1 Utama Shopping Centre.  In fact for some of the parties we even got some of our girls to wear the Dirndl.

Look out for these German brews:
  • Erdinger Weissbier
  • Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier
  • Lowenbrau
  • Warsteiner
  • Konig Ludwig Weisbier
Erdinger Weissbier (5.3% ABV), pioneered in the 70′s, was the first German wheat to be distributed nationwide in Germany. Erdinger is brewed according to traditional recipes and has no preservatives, additives and pasteurization, complying with the Bavarian Purity Law 1516.
Franziskaner Weissbier (5% ABV), a traditional Bavarian wheat beer with more than 600 years of history, is refreshing and aromatic in character. This Bavarian beer is naturally cloudy and copper-coloured and enhanced with a sweet malt taste with a smooth creamy texture for finish.
Lowenbrau, (5.2% ABV), an original “German Munich Beer”, is famous at Oktoberfests. It is a lager beer that is refreshing with a taste of malt and mild hop bitterness. The beer is light to the taste, bright golden yellow in colour, and truly complements the Bavarian drinking experience.
