Weymouth Oktoberfest unveils six new Copper Street brews for its 20th edition

Weymouth Oktoberfest returns for its 20th year on 15th and 16th October, offering more than 65 real ales and traditional ciders and some of the coast’s best beer festival views. Local sponsor Copper Street Brewery of Dorchester has funded six new experimental brews, named I to VI, spanning session ales, bitters, golden and pale styles and a vanilla stout. Rich Gabe, the festival’s bar manager, says he's looking forward to trying the one-off brews and hopes the feedback could shape Copper Street’s future range. The festival, now in its 20th year, brings beers from Cornwall, Devon and Dorset, with plans for the 2027 edition to include Bristol, Somerset and Wiltshire alongside Dorset. Highlights include Blue Anchor’s Spingo Middle and Penzance Brewing Co’s Mild, plus Driftwood Spars’ Sea Shanty Pale Ale and Stippy Stappy.
