Every year, guests want to know the tips, tricks and secrets behind Fremont Oktoberfest. Well, here it is my beer-drinking friends. This is the Fremont Oktoberfest tell-all, the behind the scenes, the Fremont Oktoberfest True Hollywood Story – the condensed soup version.

Tip #1:  Download the Fremont Oktoberfest iPhone app, presented by the Seattle Times, to plan your Fremont Oktoberfest experience. Customize your tasting experience by alcohol content, style, and brewer, and then share your ratings and tasting notes with your friends on Facebook and Twitter. iPhone app includes event schedule, map, and rate-your-beer feature.

Tip #2: Hit up the Fremont Oktoberfest Village: Free and open to all ages, the Fremont Oktoberfest Village is filled with entertainment, food, and shopping, with two dozen vendors lined up with local wares, artsy crafts, and fall apparel in the Village Market. For the foodies, this festival is an ode to the German bratwurst! Nosh on your favorite, paired up with a block of coveted curly fries, while watching pumpkin goo fly in the Texas Chainsaw Pumpkin Carving Contest or cheering on the dogs as they strut their stuff in Sunday’s CityDog Magazine Cover Dog Model Contest.Tip #3: Head straight for the stein! If you want to skip the microbrew tastings and go big, purchase a Non-Tasting Admission to the Fremont Oktoberfest Tasting Garden for $15 and head straight to the Tap House Grill Buxom Beer Garden where “buxom” means big! Sit and sip on your choice of a 14oz brew, ½ liter stein or a 1-liter stein of Bayern Oktoberfest and Bayern Pilsener.

Trick: Start at Beer tent 6: All the newbies head straight to Beer Tent 1. Out smart them and head to Canal Street and work you’re way back!
