Lion Bridge Brewing CompanyOKTOBOT 3000 Our Imperial Märzen is a fusion brew with German and Czech roots in the recipe, as well as the name (“robot” is a word with Czech origins). Munich and Bohemian Pilsner Malt are the motherboard to this amped up version of the style, while a healthy dose of German hops provide fuel to keep it running.Finally, our 2021 version spent 7 months aging in Willett Rye Whiskey Barrels to help grease the cogs and make sure it all computes. 8.5% ABV (Garage Pub)
Confluence Brewing CompanyOKTOBERFEST Oktoberfest beer was originally brewed to celebrate the wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig (destined to become King Ludwig I) to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen on 12 October 1810. Flash forward more than two centuries and Oktoberfest is a personal favorite of head brewer, John Martin, who celebrated his marriage to Katie by buying homebrew equipment on their honeymoon … in October. We used plenty of German Munich and Vienna malt as well as CaraMunich malt to five this beer its rich, amber color and full-bodied, toasty flavor. Celebrate your favorite occasion with a mug of this delicious fall brew. Prost! 5.6% ABV (Inside pub)
Gezellig Brewing CompanyDOPPLEFEST Welcome Dopptoberfest to the party! We love a good Oktoberfest this time of year but we felt the need to do something a little different. The obvious choice in our minds was a nice chewy German Doppelbock. It scratches that same malt-forward itch while cranking it up a couple notches. Big rich caramel, toasted fig, and marshmallow notes make it dangerously easy to drink. If you ask us it’s perfect for pairing with food, sitting around a fire, or accidentally setting food on fire. 8% ABV (Inside Pub)
