Forget Oktoberfest, it’s time for Swaptober Fest.
The UK’s first ever fully sober Oktoberfest event is happening this week, and it’s taking place right here in Leeds.
In celebration of Sober October, award winning alcohol-free beer brand Mash Gang, is turning tradition on its head by hosting the UK’s first ever Swaptober Fest – a booze free twist on the infamous Oktoberfest.
Guests will be able to chug steins of Mash Gang’s signature Chug lager whilst dancing along to live German oompah music and digging into authentic German bratwurst.
It’s set to be one of the biggest and best Bavarian parties, all without the hangover.
The event is taking place this Thursday 16 October, between 5-10pm at one of the nation’s ancestral homes of brewing, The Tetley in Leeds.
In the spirit of the event, guests are encouraged to swap an alcoholic drink on the door to gain entry to Swaptober Fest.
The event is open to everyone who fancies it but spaces are limited, so revellers are encouraged to turn up early to avoid disappointment.
Jo Taylor, Global Marketing Director at Mash Gang commented on the event; “We’re confident that Mash Gang is alcohol-free beer like no other, and stands up to the best beers on the market. So swapping alcoholic beer for ours doesn’t feel like any compromise.
“At Mash Gang, we’re all about having a party, getting together with friends and family over a great tasting beer and making memories, so we wanted to throw a big party this Sober October to show that swapping the booze doesn’t have any impact on the vibes. It’s guaranteed to be a night people won’t forget, with a big Bavarian atmosphere, live music, great food and exceptional beer – and even better, they won’t wake up with a hangover the next day.”
