What’s New Munich?
New Munich is our annual Oktoberfest beer release that coincides with the real deal Oktoberfest taking place in Munich, Germany. It’s our American take on a German classic (hence the name) and we think it’s wunderbar! We’ll have some other special beers coming out for the occasion too, but those are a surprise.

FAQ
Q: What’s that stein special all about?
A: We have a limited amount of New Munich Day ceramic half liter steins available for purchase at $22 which includes your first pour of New Munich. Additional pours of New Munich are $5 after that during the event. You are welcome to just purchase the stein, but it’s still going to be $22 so you might as well just get the beer in it too. Limit 1 stein per person, available at Campus only.
Q: What kind of food will be available?
A: We’ll have German food classics like brats and sausages (including vegan/vegetarian versions), as well as Campo pizza with a limited menu.
Q: Where do I park?
A: Our main parking lots are at 112 Jackson Plaza - in the front to the right or left when you pull in, or follow the driveway right and around to the back of Campus for the main lot. There is overflow parking in the adjacent lot at 78 Jackson Plaza, and across the street at 175 Jackson Plaza. We highly recommend using ride share apps, or taking public transit - the #30 bus stops nearby on Jackson Rd.
Q: What if it rains?
A: You should definitely still come party with us; we’ll be moving as much of the party as we can indoors at our warehouse building in the back of Campus.
