Munich’s Oktoberfest Keg Tapping: Group Walking Tour
Join fellow beer lovers for Munich’s ultimate Augustiner crawl — a 2-hour group walking tour designed for Oktoberfest enthusiasts who want more than just a tent. Starting at the iconic Augustiner Stammhaus on the pedestrian zone, the group traces the story of Munich’s oldest brewery through three legendary venues. At the Augustiner-Keller, 5,000 seats beneath ancient chestnut trees fill with locals and visitors sharing steins under the open sky. The finale at the Augustiner Bräustuben — the brewery’s own working beer hall, where kegs are still hand-tapped from wooden casks — delivers the most authentic pint in Munich. No entry fees at any stop. No reservations needed. Just great beer, great company, and the spirit of Wiesn around every corner. Perfect for solo travellers, groups of friends, and anyone wanting to experience Oktoberfest culture beyond the fairground tents.

Augustiner Braustuben, Munich
The grand finale: Augustiner Bräustuben is the brewery's own working beer hall, housed in the brewery's former horse stables.
