Alcohol-free beer brand Mash Gang is hosting the UK’s first ever Swaptober Fest, a booze-free twist on Oktoberfest.

Mash Gang Swaptoberfest

With steins of Mash Gang’s signature Chug, live German oompah music, and authentic bratwurst, it promises Oktoberfest style fun without the hangovers.

The event will take place on Thursday, 16th October, at The Tetley, in Leeds. In the spirit of the event, guests are encouraged to swap an alcoholic drink on the door to gain entry.

Featuring a series of Bavarian-themed games and challenges, the event will also give revellers the chance to win a year’s supply of Mash Gang beer.

“We’re confident that Mash Gang is alcohol-free beer like no other, and stands up to the best beers on the market,” said Jo Taylor, global marketing director at Mash Gang. “So swapping alcoholic beer for ours doesn’t feel like any compromise.

“At Mash Gang, we’re all about having a party, getting together with friends and family over a great tasting beer, and making memories, so we wanted to throw a big party this Sober October to show that swapping the booze doesn’t have any impact on the vibes.

“It’s guaranteed to be a night people won’t forget, with a big Bavarian atmosphere, live music, great food, and exceptional beer — and even better, they won’t wake up with a hangover the next day.”
