Oktoberfest at Signal Brewery & Taproom, 30 September 2023

Enjoy special beers and a sausage BBQ at Oktoberfest, held at the Signal Brewery Tap Room on Saturday 30 September 2023; part of the legendary Signal Brewery Pay Day Parties season.

For over 200 years Oktoberfest has been a wonderful celebration of beer and friendship. You can’t have missed this year’s Oktoberfest, it’s all over TikTok, and this has put us all in the mood for a knees up. So, whilst Oktoberfest’s historical home might be in Munich, we’re joining in the party and bringing Oktoberfest to Croydon.

At both the OG Oktoberfest and at many other Oktoberfest celebrations around the world, local brewers take the opportunity to craft unique beers especially for the event. And who are we to buck this trend?

With not one but three Oktoberfest-inspired beers, Croydon’s Signal Brewery holds our own Oktoberfest at the Tap Room on Saturday 30 September 2023 from 1pm to 9pm.

SAVING SUMMER WITH PAY DAY PARTIES

With the cost-of-living crisis threatening to ruin both summer and the UK beer industry, we’re launching a series of Pay Day Parties to keep (literal and metaphorical!) spirits high in South London.

We’re all too familiar with how tough it is right now but we’re taking a “glass half full” approach to the current climate by launching a programme of fun, affordable events that include monthly Pay Day Parties.

These will see the Taproom extend out onto the forecourt to become the go-to place for an affordable, quality, outdoor drinking experience in South London this summer.

Join us for Oktoberfest!

We’re proud of our South London roots but very happy to jump aboard German traditions in the name of celebrating good beer!

Next month, we’re joining forces with our neighbours Anspach and Hobday, to hold an Oktoberfest event the Bavarians would be happy to raise a Stein to.

For those unfamiliar – Oktoberfest is the world’s largest Volksfest (a large event in German-speaking countries which usually combines a beer festival or wine festival and a travelling funfair). The 3 week event is held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany around late Sept/Oct and attracts more than six million international and national visitors.

SIGNAL BREWERY PARTNERS WITH KEN FEST FOR BEATS AT THE BREWERY!

Yep, the rumours are true – we’re hosting our own mini-festival in partnership with Ken Fest!

On Saturday 20th August, we’ll be welcoming the Ken Fest team back to our South London Taproom for ‘Beats at the Brewery’ – an all-day party with live music and DJs.

Ken Fest is a grass roots festival that normally takes place in an ancient woodland in Oxted, Surrey. Set up by Sandy Kenny in 2016, the usual festival can’t take place this year BUT they will be bringing the spirit of the festival (along with the music acts and DJs) to our London Taproom for a one-day ‘Beats at the Brewery’ event.

Music on the day will include dance, disco, house and RnB classics and your ticket (priced from just £5) will also give you entrance to the after-party (at The Railway Tavern in Tulse Hill).

Next month is a big one for sport with the start of both the Autumn Nation Series – Autumn Internationals 2022 Rugby Fixtures and the Fifa World Cup.

As big football and rugby fans ourselves, we’ll be opening up the Taproom on various dates over the coming months, to provide a welcoming space for fans to watch the matches together.

With indoor tables (and the freshest of beers on tap) Signal Brewery and Taproom is the perfect location to celebrate (or commiserate!) at this Autumn/Winter.

Signal Brewery partners with Sutton United to open new Fan Zones

Last weekend saw the opening of Sutton United’s Fan Zones – with bars and Signal taps now installed and we are delighted to be partering with our local team.

Situated at the Gander Green Lane end of the club, the new Home fan zone allows Sutton supporters to come together and enjoy fresh Signal beers, cider, food and shade in a convivial atmosphere in the build-up to kick off and after the game. A similar facility has been installed for the Away fans in the concourse behind the visitors’ terrace.

Sutton United FC was founded in March 1898 when a meeting of two leading local clubs, Sutton Association and Sutton Guild Rovers, decided that they should join forces. The amber and chocolate colours of Sutton Association were retained, along with both clubs’ grounds, and the United club’s first game was against Norwood & Selhurst FC.

POURING PINTS FOR OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY

This summer, after an incredibly tough few years, we’ve thrown ourselves getting out and about by supporting as many local community events and festivals as possible.

Thank you to everyone who’s welcomed us so far – we’ve loved meeting so many new faces (and putting a fresh pint in their hands!)

Here a just a few of the places we’ve been hanging out at this summer:
