Auf dem Oktoberfest gibt es nichts geschenkt (TUM)

Munich.

Oktoberfest is just around the corner, and amid the city’s powerful traditional breweries, a small independent brewery dares to attempt the impossible: securing a spot on the Wiesn for the very first time.

But the road to the coveted serving license is far from easy. Political decisions, economic interests, and social expectations form a complex web in which every meeting can make a difference. Who are the right allies? Who can be trusted? And how far is one willing to go to make a dream come true?

As the owners and operators of the young brewery, the players enter a vibrant world filled with challenges, opportunities, and unexpected twists. Together, they develop strategies, forge alliances, and make decisions that will shape the future of their business. Cooperation or competition? Diplomacy or risk? Every choice changes the story.

This semester, the struggle is about more than brewing beer. It is about influence, recognition, and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pour beer at the world’s largest folk festival.

The only question is: can the small brewery overcome the odds and earn its place at Oktoberfest?
