The Fairway Colombo Oktoberfest was held from September 27 to 30, 2018 on Hospital Street opposite Fairway Colombo. The festivities kicked off at 6 pm and went on till midnight with German-themed food and beverages overflowing. 

The food by German Chef Stefan Ferdinand was far from the highlight of the evening because it was the fun-filled games, music courtesy the German band Hi! Light and refreshing brew that got the crowd going.

Tickets for the evening were sold at Rs 1,500 out of which Rs 1,000 could be redeemed on food and drinks. 

We tried out their Roast Pork with German Spaetzle and Red Cabbage as well as some Apple Strudle with a side of vanilla ice cream all of which were relatively decent.
