Maibock Tapping

Maibock Bier Tapping & May Day Celebration
Thursday, May 1 | 6 PM
at Hofbräuhaus Buffalo
Music provided by Die Haus Band

Raise your steins and your spirits as we welcome spring the Bavarian way — with our Maibock Bier Tapping and a traditional Maypole celebration right inside the Bierhall! 🍺🌼🇩🇪

This festive evening will honor May Day and the ceremonial arrival of Maibock, our bold and beautiful spring seasonal bier — brewed according to the German Purity Law of 1516 and full of flavor worth toasting to.

Our honorary Burgermeister for the evening is none other than Chris Krueger, representing The Federation of German American Societies of Buffalo and Vicinity — a vibrant organization preserving and celebrating German heritage across WNY.

The Federation brings together 10 incredible German-American groups, from the iconic German-American Musicians (GAM) and Bergholz German Band, to the SGTV Edelweiss Schuhplattler dancers, the Buffalo-Dortmund Sister City Committee, the Spring Garden Association (hosts of Maifest, Waldfest, and Schlachtfest), and so many more.

You’ll also see supporters and members from:
🎶 Hops und Schnapps
🎹 Die Haus Band
🎭 Schlaraffia Bisonia (German skit & drama club)
🎡 German Festival Committee
🎺 Dan Wilke, the traveling organ grinder
🎼 Concordia Foundation & Cemetery
🎤 Buffalo Schwabenchor
⚽️ Sports Club Germania
🕊️ The Steuben Society

Expect music, dancing, stein-holding, gemütlichkeit, and a festive, family-friendly celebration you’ll never forget.

Spring has sprung — and it tastes like Maibock!
🍻🌸🎶🌷🇩🇪
