Bier Fest

— a beer sampling festival —

Bier
Fest 2026

August 8 — August 16, 2026
Old World Village · Huntington Beach

Imported German lagers, weissbiers, dunkels, hefes, and pilsners — poured by a biergarten at Old World Village that's been doing this since 1978.

— what it is —

Nine days, one bier garden.

Bier Fest is the festival the regulars wait for. Old World turns the biergarten into a proper sampling event — flights of imported German beer poured by people who know the difference between a Munich helles and a Bohemian pilsner, and care that you do too.

It runs nine days in mid-August, in the heart of Old World's high season — between Pretzel Fest and the start of Oktoberfest. The crowd skews regulars and the curious-curious, the kind of beer drinker who can pronounce Reinheitsgebot and wants to.

Our boutique sits right at the entrance to the village — the first thing you see walking in, the last thing on your way out. Steins for the people who want to drink the way the Germans drink, trachten for the regulars, and hats and accessories that turn a Bier Fest into a tradition.
