Name: 2026 Oktoberfest Collector's Steins
Start: 2026-10-04
Location: South of Shaw Beer Company

South of Shaw Beer Company in Fresno, California is the sort of neighbourhood sanctuary where tradition politely nudges innovation out of the way. The bar serves a rich English ale that still arrives through a proper British hand‑pump, proving that some old‑school tricks still work wonders. If you’re after something a bit louder, the New England IPA bursts onto the palate with the kind of tropical hop punch that makes you wonder why you ever settled for bland lagers.

While your pint is doing its thing, a Neapolitan pizza arrives – dough that has taken a leisurely 24‑hour cold rise, topped with fresh vegetables and premium cheeses, so you can taste the dedication in every bite (the kind of quality that makes pretentious food‑snobbery look foolish). The décor swings between rustic‑chic and sleek modernity, a visual cue that the place respects its roots while keeping an eye on the future. Seasonal experimental brews pop up regularly, giving regulars something new to argue over, and the pizza toppings are always sourced fresh, keeping the whole experience genuinely tasty and community‑driven.
