Oktoberfest 2026 in SoCal: SteelCraft’s Guide to Beer, Food & Festivities

Oktoberfest is rolling back into Southern California, and SteelCraft is once again embracing all things steins, oompah, and general festive nonsense. Get ready for cold beer, big ol’ steins, wiener dog races, prizes, live music, and dance moves that may or may not have been approved by Germany. There will be plenty of food to fuel your festivities, drinks to keep those glasses full, and enough Oktoberfest fun to make you forget what day it is. Come hungry, come thirsty, and maybe start stretching those stein-holding muscles now. Keep reading to see what’s brewing at each SteelCraft location!
