The 23rd Oktoberfest celebration was held in Paulaner Bräuhaus, Kempinski Hotel Beijing on the night of October 8. Around 500 guests were present.

The annual festival, which lasts until October 25, features Paulaner beer, which is handcrafted using only four basic ingredients: barley, hops, yeast and water. Also at the event were authentic Bavarian dishes prepared by Paulaner's Executive Chef Christian Meinhardt, live music, dancing, and games.

This year, Paulaner Bräuhaus Beijing also hosted its first Oktoberfest Family Day on October 17. The event featured a family menu and fun activities for the kids.
