Compete in the Giant Pretzel Eating Contest or Stein Holding Contest for a chance at free beer for a year and a $25 Colorado Mountain Brewery gift card (spots limited), or dress your best in lederhosen or a dirndl for a shot at the best-dressed prize. Grab a limited-edition stein with three refills or an Oktoberfest T-shirt while supplies last, and enjoy beer and food specials, a photo booth and family-friendly fun all afternoon.
