Specialty and Limited-Release Oktoberfest Beers
Our Oktoberfest beers are here, but not for long!! ⏳🍺 Once the kegs kick, that’s it—so make the most of the season while it lasts! 🥨✨

🍺 Munich Helles – Oktoberfest Specialty Release - also available in cans!  
Hell may be pretty sinister here, but in German it translates to "pale" or "bright". Münchners were inspired by the Czechs' popular pilsner for this malt-forward, hoppy, light beer. Before you know it, you'll be saying, "Noch ein Bier, bitte!"  

🍺 Rauchbier – Oktoberfest Limited Release  
Our take on a classic smoked lager, brewed for sweater weather and serious flavor. Rich smoke character leads the way—think bacon, BBQ, and campfire—balanced by hints of brown sugar, caramel, and toasted wheat bread. Earthy and leathery with a smooth finish, it’s bold without being overpowering.  

🍺 Vienna Lager – Oktoberfest Limited Release  
A smooth, malt-forward lager that’s all about balance and drinkability. Layers of caramel, toasted bread crust, and pretzel balance gentle floral notes of honeysuckle and pear, with a hint of citrus and earthy bitterness on the finish. Classic, clean, and quietly complex.  

🍺 Hefeweizen – Oktoberfest Limited Release  
A classic German-style wheat beer with notes of banana bread, clove, and lemon. Aromas of banana, pear, and wheat lead into flavors of light banana, vanilla, biscuit, and peppery spice. Smooth, refreshing, and brewed for easy Oktoberfest drinking.  

🍺 Altbier – Oktoberfest Limited Release  
Originating from the German town of Düsseldorf, our classic Altbier transports you back to the 13th Century. German malt and hops make this medium body, slightly malty ale traditionally German through and through. With notes of caramel and toasted grain, this seasonal beer will have you raising your glass to a joyful, "PROST!"  

🍺 Berliner Weisse – Oktoberfest Limited Release  
A bright, tart wheat ale with lively aromas of citrus, apple, and a touch of funk. Flavors of lemon zest, green tea, and golden cherry mingle with bready notes and a crisp, refreshing finish.  

🍺 Dry Hopped Hefeweizen – Oktoberfest Limited Release  
A hefeweizen at heart with a hoppy edge—clove, banana, and soft wheat meet bursts of citrus, lychee, and cantaloupe. Herbal notes of lemongrass and dill add intrigue, while a gentle bitterness lifts the finish.
