Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Arrive early on Saturdays to maximize your time with Santa and explore the vendor offerings before peak crowds.
- Dress in layers, as the event is primarily outdoors in the biergarten, and fire pits may not be sufficient for warmth on colder days.
- Check the brewery's social media channels closer to the event date for the full vendor lineup, as it's announced in November.
- Consider visiting on a Friday evening or Sunday to potentially experience fewer crowds than on Saturday afternoons.
- Be sure to try the Gluhwein, a traditional spiced wine, and their seasonal holiday beer for an authentic Christmas market experience.
