(245)

Founded in 1854, the Turn Verein has served as the center for German traditions in Sacramento. Our historic club is where locals with German ancestry—and those with an interest in German culture—congregate to socialize, study German language, celebrate, exercise, and carry on revered German customs. This includes Sacramento’s first, best, and biggest annual Oktoberfest celebration.

What's on tap at the 2026 Bockbierfest?

Bockbier!!
Weihenstephaner Vitus!
Vitus is a light-coloured, spicy single-bock, developed with an extra long storage time. The fruity smell of dried apricots joins aromas of citrus, cloves and hints of banana. Vitus is considered Full-bodied and sparkling. Thus, the Vitus does not taste like a typical Bock beer but more like a slightly sweet, fruity wheat beer. (ABV = 7.7%)
Brewed at Weihenstephan monastery, the oldest brewery in the world.

Q : What if it rains on Saturday?!
A : There will be less people in the Biergarten.

We've had a rainy Bierfest weekend before - wasn't a problem, we gave the band the night off and offered food and Bier outside. We've got a big building and most of the activity is indoors.
See you at the hall! Saturday April 18th Bockbierfest.

Weihenstephaner claims to be the oldest brewery, likely brewing before a brewing license was issued in 1040. This brewery has been operating as a brewery and school for more than 100 years. There's a lot going on in a mug of their Vitus. 7.7 ABV and surprisingly easy to drink.
