Get ready, beer lovers! The 12th annual Philly Bierfest is back, bringing with it an epic celebration of German-style brews, live entertainment, and all-around good times. Hosted by The German Society of Pennsylvania and Philly Roller Derby, this legendary midwinter festival is more than just a beer tasting—it's a full-blown cultural experience packed with two beer-filled buildings, six floors of entertainment, and an outdoor biergarten!
Pennsylvania is a powerhouse of German-style brewing, and Bierfest 2025 is here to showcase it all. In the PA Beer Hall, you’ll get to sip on everything from crisp Pilsners and Lagers to malty Doppelbocks, smoky Rauchbiers, and even rare finds like Zoigls and Zwickels. If you're looking to explore traditional German imports, head upstairs to the German Beer Hall, where over 20 beer brands from Germany and beyond await. Prost!
