About this Event
Join Best Florida Beer at Blind Tiger Seminole Heights on Saturday, September 19 from 6–9PM for the official awards ceremony for the 2026 Oktoberfest Professional Competition.
Breweries from across Florida have submitted beers across a wide range of Oktoberfest and German-inspired styles, including Märzen, Helles, Pilsner, Vienna Lager, Kölsch, wheat beers, dark lagers, specialty beers and more. The evening will recognize this year’s medal winners, along with Best of Show and the Heavy Medalist Das Boot Awards.
The awards ceremony is FREE to attend and will take place on Blind Tiger’s outdoor patio. The ceremony will also be livestreamed and recorded for those who can’t make it in person.
Blind Tiger plans to have several of the award-winning beers available on draft and/or in package, giving guests a chance to taste some of the beers being celebrated that night. The venue will remain open to the general public throughout the event.
