Indian Oktoberfest Celebrations
Oktoberfest Celebrations Bring German Beer and Bavarian Food to Major Indian Cities
Anonymous
Oktoberfest celebrations in 2026 are bringing German-style beer, Bavarian food and festive events to venues across India, with local twists in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Kolkata. Bengaluru bars and breweries are pairing German-inspired dishes such as pretzels, schnitzel and bratwurst with Indian-influenced creations, while hotels in Hyderabad and Mumbai are hosting beer-and-food experiences with brunches, live music or waterfront dining. Kolkata’s Cal On is featuring three in-house German beer styles alongside classic dishes, tasting flights and beer-based cocktails. In western Massachusetts, a beer review highlights regional Märzen lagers from Abandoned Building Brewery and Berkshire Brewing as seasonal Oktoberfest options.
