#brotzeit

Starting September 7 to November 10, 2025, all Brotzeit branches including those at The Podium Mall, Shangri-La at the Fort BGC, and Alabang West Parade will be transformed with festive Oktoberfest decor, lively weekend games, Bavarian specialties, and seasonal Oktoberfest beers.

Brotzeit was conceived in Singapore in 2006 and now operates across the Asia Pacific region. It aims to introduce authentic Bavarian cuisine accompanied by world famous quality German beer in a chic and contemporary setting, so Oktoberfest is always one of its biggest events of the year. Now on their 12th year in the Philippines, there’s no better place to enjoy this annual German tradition than at the country’s most popular German bier bar and restaurant.

Oktoberfest is an annual festival held in Munich, Bavaria in Germany from mid-September to the first Sunday in October. Thankfully, you don’t have to travel to Germany because Brotzeit is bringing the party right here in Manila on September 20 at 6:00pm. The heart of every Oktoberfest is the music so the Anton Showband will be back to bring the energy to a whole new level. Party all night with games and prizes plus enjoy all these with unlimited Bavarian feast and free-flowing German beers.

Brozeit will be offering exclusive Oktberfest beers for this year’s celebrations. The Weihenstephaner Festbier (P480 - 0.5L) is a full rich bodied seasonal lager specially brewed for the Festbier season. This beer represents the Bavarian way of celebrating with its deep gold color, great mouthfeel, and lots of flavor. There's also the Pauline Oktoberfest Bier (P480 - 0.5L) which has the perfect balance of a light taste of hops and a strong note of malt.

Brotzeit is very proud of its German beers and these are taken very seriously from sourcing, using proper glassware, and even pouring techniques. All beers at Brotzeit are brewed according to the Germany purity law, so you are assured of an authentic German experience.

I really like the beer cocktails that Brotzeit offers. This time I tried the Apple Bier (P380 - 0.5L) which is lager mixed with apple juice. Brotzeit offers so many different beers and flavors and you are sure to find your own favorite.

Brotzeit Philiipines also offers signature cocktails like the Black Forest (P550) which comes with Espolon tequila, red wine, citrus, and chocolate syrup. It's a really unique cocktail that feels like eating a Black Forest cake but in liquid form.

To celebrate the Oktoberfest season, Brotzeit Philippines is launching its special Oktoberfest Menu from September 7 to November 10, 2025 featuring all Bavarian favorites. Indulge in crispy pork belly, savory sausages, warm pretzels, and tender steak, all part of their Oktoberfest menu crafted for the season.

I love eating their Brezn or Bavarian Pretzel, but Brotzeit takes it even further this Oktoberfest with the Überbackene "Flammkuchen" Brezen (P180). This is a unique caramelized onion and cheese gratinated pretzel with bacon and caraway seeds. I have never had pretzels this good so I hope they keep this on the regular menu.

The Regensburger Bierwurst (P480) comes with smoked pork and beef sausages served with bacon sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Brotzeit always makes the best German sausages and these are as good as they come.

Here's something new at Brotzeit, the Weisen Hendl (P520) which are marinated golden fried chicken leg quarters with potato cucumber salad and cranberry sauce. The fried chicken is so crunchy and it's difficult to eat just one piece.

The Knusprige Schweinbauch (P950) is one dish that I'm sure everyone will love. These are crispy roasted pork belly served with napkin dumplings and mustard gravy.

If you want a bit of everything in one plate, order the Metzger Pfanne (P780) which comes with luscious pork belly, smoked pork and beef sausages, bacon sauerkraut, napkin dumplings and onion sauce.

Brotzeit also features steak this Oktoberfest. The Zwiebelrostbraten (P1650) is a Black Angus beef striploin steak cooked with red wine onion sauce, fried onions, roast potatoes, and bacon beans.

The main attraction at the Oktoberfest Menu is this Bavarian feast. The Oktoberfest 2025 Weisen Platte (P3850) brings together the finest flavors of the season, crafted for sharing and celebrating in style.

This gigantic Bavarian platter comes with a fork-tender Signature Pork Knuckle that is always the highlight of our Oktoberfest feast. This an all-time Brotzeit favorite and is the quintessential German dish. The pork knuckle is cooked until the meat is tender then oven roasted for the perfect crackling skin. The meat is actually infused with beer to give it that special taste.

The set also comes with crispy roasted pork belly, golden fried chicken leg quarter, regensburger bierwurst, Thüringer sausage, potato cucumber salad, and bacon sauerkraut for a complete package.

Aside from the main Oktoberfest party at the The Podium Hall, there will also be Signature Branch Parties on September 26 (BGC), September 27 (Alabang), and September 28 (The Podium). We would like to thank Brotzeit Philippines for inviting us to a preview of their Oktoberfest celebrations. Prost!

Oktoberfest is an annual festival held in Munich, Bavaria in Germany from mid-September to the first Sunday in October. This year, it will be held from September 21 to October 6, 2024, but you don’t have to travel to Germany because Brotzeit is bringing the party right here in Manila.

Brotzeit is very proud of its German beers and these are taken very seriously from sourcing, using proper glassware, and even pouring techniques. All beers at Brotzeit are brewed according to the Germany purity law, so you are assured of an authentic German experience.

The Weihenstephaner Festbier (P480 - 0.5L) is a full rich bodied seasonal lager specially brewed for the Festbier season. This beer represents the Bavarian way of celebrating with its deep gold color, great mouthfeel, and lots of flavor. What I really enjoyed was the Bayrischer Longdrink (P380 - 0.5L) which is one of their Bier Cocktails. This half liter mug comes with lager mixed with calamansi and vodka.

Another cocktail beer that we enjoyed was the Mango Bier (P380 - 0.5L) which has wheat beer mixed with mango juice. Brotzeit offers so many different beers and you are sure to find your own favorite.

I also love their Hot Chocolate so I order this every time I visit. This hot cocoa drink comes topped with cinnamon cream.

Now let’s try some of the special Oktoberfest dishes. Brotzeit has created a new Oktoberfest Menu that perfectly represents the season and goes very well with the featured beers for this celebration. 

The Anchovy Fladen (P490) is a flatbread topped with cheese, anchovies, artichokes, capers, and sweet red onions. This is a good starter that can be shared by the entire table.

Brotzeit Philippines Executive Chef Ivan Maminta then shows us some of the other items on the Oktoberfest Menu.

The Weisswurst (P390) is a traditional Bavarian Pork and veal sausage served with pretzel. The sausage is quite flavorful and you can choose to remove the casing or not. You can also get the Pretzel (P300) as an additional order by themselves.

If you really want to celebrate Oktoberfest, go and order the Oktoberfest 2024 Platter (P4600). This huge meaty platter will surely be the highlight of your Oktoberfest celebrations with its combination of Oktoberfest specials and Brotzeit favorites.

First up, this full platter comes with a Regensberger, a Nurnberger, and a Thuringer Sausage with Sauerkraut and potato salad. These three sausages will definitely satisfy your cravings with its different textures and flavors.

Then there's the Grilled Pork Chop and Roast Beef to satisfy the big meatlovers. These big and juicy slices should go well with some pretzels.

The main highlight of the Oktoberfest Platter is the Signature Pork Knuckle. This an all-time Brotzeit favorite and is the quintessential German dish. The pork knuckle is cooked until the meat is tender then oven roasted for the perfect crackling skin. The meat is actually infused with beer to give it that special taste.

The pork knuckle is so tender that you don't even need a knife to break it open. The Oktoberfest 2024 Platter is definitely packed with all the meat you can handle.

Our Oktoberfest gathering even had some very special guests. My husband Dexter was so surprised to see Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski join us at our table. He is in town for the much awaited SuperManila 2024 Comic Convention happening on the weekend.

Who would have thought that Dexter would be having beer with one of the comic book industry's top executives? He actually has tickets to SuperManila already so this was a very happy surprise.

Brotzeit’s Oktoberfest 2024 celebrations culminate with their Signature Party Days on September 27 to 29, 2024. This huge 3-day Oktoberfest party will be similar to how they do it in Germany. Special guests will be the AnTon Showband which is a popular German group that performs traditional German folk tunes to modern hits. They will be playing at Shangri-La at the Fort on September 27 and 29 then at Brotzeit Alabang West Parade on September 28. You can book your tables early and join this unforgettable musical journey at (https://brotzeit.ph/reservation). We would like to thank Brotzeit owner Malvin Ang for hosting our advance Oktoberfest party. Prost!
