Great Dane Brewing will hold GREAT DANE OKTOBERFEST on Saturday, October 3, and Sunday, October 4, 2026, at its brewery in Akiu, Taihaku Ward, Sendai. The event will run from 11:00 to 20:00 on both days. According to the brewery’s announcement, everyone is welcome, including families, groups of friends, and solo visitors.\n\nThe event will center on German beer and food, with additional entertainment including music, a raffle, and games. Details of the beer selection, food menu, and event schedule are still being prepared and will be announced on the brewery’s website as they become available.\n\nGreat Dane Brewing is also currently serving and selling its Oktoberfest beer in draft and cans. The lager is brewed with Munich malt from Germany and Hallertau hops. The brewery describes it as having toast-like malt sweetness balanced by refreshing bitterness. It has an alcohol content of 5%.\n\nOktoberfest traces its roots to a wedding celebration held for the Bavarian royal family in October 1810. Oktoberfest beer is traditionally enjoyed from September through early October, making the style a natural fit for Great Dane Brewing’s autumn event.\n\nThe brewery’s identity connects its American roots with its Sendai brewing base. Great Dane Brewing was founded in Wisconsin in 1994 and opened a new brewery in Akiu in January 2024. Its philosophy combines brewing traditions from around the world with modern techniques, while its restaurant also highlights pairings using ingredients from Miyagi.\n\nFor craft beer fans visiting the Akiu area, the two-day event offers a chance to enjoy a seasonal lager alongside German-inspired food and entertainment. Further information should be checked on Great Dane Brewing’s official website before visiting. The venue is located at 5 Biwahara, Yumoto, Akiu-machi, Taihaku-ku, Sendai, Miyagi.
