What’s on Tap at Little Rocktoberfest?
Prepare your taste buds for a global tour of beers without ever leaving Little Rock! At Little Rocktoberfest, you’ll get to sample a mind-blowing array of commercial beers from around the world, plus the freshest pours from our very own Arkansas craft breweries. Whether you’re into the hoppy magic of an IPA or the smooth richness of a stout, there’s something here for every palate.
But wait, it gets better! The festival also features the Homebrew Exhibition, where local homebrewers showcase their one-of-a-kind creations. These brews are exclusive, experimental, and always exciting—perfect for those who love to try something new.
Eat, Drink, and Be Merry!
What’s a beer festival without some hearty eats? Your ticket includes a mouthwatering bratwurst dinner provided by the ever-popular Fassler Hall. Picture this: juicy bratwurst, perfectly cooked, with all the traditional fixings — sauerkraut, mustard, grilled onions, you name it. It’s the perfect accompaniment to your beer sampling adventure.

Whether you’re a beer connoisseur or just here for the vibes, there’s a ticket option that’s perfect for you:
