San Miguel Oktoberfest Okada Manila marks 135 years of beer, music, and fiesta spirit
The country’s biggest beer festival returned with a bang as San Miguel Beer launched the 2025 Oktoberfest at Okada Manila’s Crystal Pavilion last September 20 and 21. The two-day celebration drew more than 8,000 guests who enjoyed ice-cold brews, good food, and live performances from the country’s top music acts.
This year’s Oktoberfest marks San Miguel Beer’s 135th year of serving quality brews across the world. The celebration opened with a toast led by San Miguel Brewery President Carlos M. Berba, brand ambassador Coco Martin, and Okada Manila Vice Chairperson Takako Okada.
Guests enjoyed unlimited beer tastings from San Miguel Beer’s global portfolio, featuring new flavors like India Pale Ale, Fruity Wheat Ale, Summer Ale, and Specialty Lager. Pop-up food stalls from Café Fleur by Chef Sau, Las Flores, Flipside Burgers, and Purefoods Deli lined the venue, along with San Miguel’s Draft Beer Mobile Bar Truck.
The night pulsed with live music from Rico Blanco, Lola Amour, December Avenue, Arthur Nery, Brownman Revival, The Juans, and more. Adding to the fun, the San Miguel Beermen entertained fans with a friendly game, while billiard icons Efren “Bata” Reyes and Django Bustamante wowed guests in an exhibition match.
The Okada event kicked off a nationwide series, with upcoming stops at Paseo de Santa Rosa in Laguna on October 18 and Queensland Manor in Cebu City on October 31.
