The country’s most-anticipated beer festival once again lived up to the hype as San Miguel Beer Corporation brought back the iconic Oktoberfest last September 20, 2025, at Okada Manila. This year’s edition was extra special as San Miguel celebrated 135 years of serving world-class beers to Filipinos and beyond.
The night kicked off with a bang, giving guests the full fiesta vibe that Oktoberfest has always been known for. Beer lovers enjoyed complimentary samplers curated from San Miguel’s global portfolio, along with first tastes of exciting new brews. The drinks were perfectly paired with culinary creations from Las Flores, Café Fleur by Chef Sau, Purefoods Deli, and more, thanks to pop-up restaurants that completed the experience.
Day 1 of Oktoberfest turned into a massive rock fest as some of the country’s top acts took over the stage. Autotelic opened the party, setting the crowd in motion with their hits. The energy kept building with performances from Brownman Revival , The Juans, Sean Archer, Paprika, and DJ Chelsea. Rico Blanco also gave fans a treat with his timeless anthems, before Arthur Nery closed the night with a soulful set that had the crowd singing along to every word.
On top of the music, partygoers had the chance to bring home limited-edition San Miguel Oktoberfest merchandise, making the night even more memorable.
With great music, food, and of course, endless brews, San Miguel Oktoberfest 2025 proved once again why it’s the ultimate celebration for beer lovers—combining world-class flavors with an all-out fiesta spirit.
