New alcohol-free beer to be introduced at Oktoberfest Liverpool

The Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Councillor Richard Kemp CBE, was among the first to sample a new locally brewed alcohol-free German-style beer, set to be introduced at the North West’s largest Oktoberfest celebration later this year.

The beer, named Colbier Alkoholfrei, has been developed by Colbier, a new Liverpool-based brewery established in 2024 by three individuals with extensive experience in the brewing industry. The company focuses on crafting hoppy and innovative beers, and this new non-alcoholic option will be featured prominently at this year’s festival.

Speaking ahead of the event, Kev McArthur from Oktoberfest Liverpool said:

“As well as partnering with Colbier to showcase a new non-alcoholic brew, we’re thrilled to announce The Bavarian Stompers, the best German oompah band in the business, as our house band. We’re bringing in a huge Miami funfair ride alongside the dodgems as well as offering a wider variety of food, including vegetarian options, on our swing grill.

“There are more private huts this year with a dedicated hostess for a VIP experience, and Beer Guide Worldwide’s Kam Wojtow will be hosting party games. We’re looking forward to seeing people getting dressed up in lederhosen and having fun as the best of the Munich Oktoberfest lands in Liverpool.”

Oktoberfest Liverpool will take place on Saturday, 20th September, with two sessions scheduled from 12:00pm to 5:00pm and 6:00pm to 11:00pm.
