Want to add that ‘German’ festive feel? Why not serve your pints in the traditional 20oz Elite Bavarian Tankards made of shatterproof polycarbonate plastic and totally reusable year on year! Perfect for Oktoberfest events, German markets and festivals.

Like all beer festivals, Oktoberfest is a great opportunity for event organisers, street vendors and mobile stands to provide much needed food-to-go and refreshments to party goers, from the traditional German ‘Bratwurst’ sausages to a wide range of take-outs, deli and local specialties! Make sure you are well stocked with eco-friendly takeaway food containers, including paper napkins and disposable cutlery.
