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.

LET IT POUR!!! SIGNAL JOINS FORCES WITH BOXPARK CROYDON FOR THE WORLD CUP!

The Football screenings at Boxpark are legendary.

Over the last five years, scenes of fans throwing beers in the air whilst celebrating goals have been broadcast internationally on news channels while photographs of ecstatic, yet drenched viewers have dominated social media channels during big games. Even England’s Jack Grealish said (during the 2021 World Cup), that if he wasn’t playing in the tournament himself, he’d “be at Boxpark”.

So, it is with great excitement that we can now announce a new partnership with Boxpark Croydon that should see our beers (quite literally) flying off the bar! Read More...
