Magtoberfest Celebration!
Dust off your dirndl, lace up your lederhosen, scrub out your stein; it’s Oktoberfest time! 🍻
Magtoberfest, our Oktoberfest celebration, returns to The Source on Saturday, September 19th, 12–11 PM.
The beer lineup leans full German fest mode: Magtoberfest Märzen, Fest Bear Festbier, Zugspitze Bavarian Cold IPA, This Weizen’s on Fire Smoked Dunkelweizen, Pumpernickel Rye Porter, and Wakulla Hefeweizen. Basically six ways to say PROST!
Live music runs 12–7 PM with traditional Oktoberfest vibes from The Klezmer Katz and Oktober Festers. Food trucks Stubbies, Mayflower, Vegan Gator, and Verde Spice are covering every craving. And once the brass winds down, the big screen takes over for UF vs. Auburn at 7 PM.
Prost, Gainesville. It’s going to be wunderbar. 🤙

Birds and Brews - Guided Bird Walks
First Magnitude and the Alachua Audubon Society have teamed up to host monthly bird walks!
This event meets the first Sunday of each month – **Be sure to check the start time each month as it will vary through the year.** – in front of the drift mural in the warehouse by the entrance to The Source taproom.
The group, led by volunteers from the Alachua Audubon Society, will start walking over to Depot Park 15 minutes after the meeting time. Once at Depot Park, an hour-long guided tour will identify our lovely aerial pals!
The tour should return to the brewery an hour later, giving you time to have a nighthawk…er…nightcap!
This bird walk is more informal than most and all birding skill levels are welcome; enthusiasm is what matters! Bring your binoculars and a thirst for good craft beer (and if you don’t have your binoculars, stop by anyway, because we’ll have binoculars to loan out).
