🇩🇪 STAMMTISCH  German Pils   Brewed with pilsner malt and hops from Germany and the Pacific Northwest.

🇩🇪 FESTBIER  German Fest Lager   Brewed with German Pilsner and Vienna malts for rich maltiness, subtle notes of toast and dough. Tettnanger and Saaz noble hops provide herbal spice and citrus zest. Fermented with German lager yeast, this beer finishes clean, slightly full, with a pleasantly sweet malt flavor and aroma. Brewed in the tradition of the beer served at Oktoberfest in Munich, this beer walks the line between strength and drinkability. Prost!  ABV 5.8%

🇩🇪 OKJOEBERFEST  Märzen Lager   Brewed in the tradition of the Märzen-style lager beer served at Oktoberfest in Munich. Vienna, Munich, Caramunich, and Melanoidin malts create a robust, full-bodied malt flavor. Fermented and lager conditioned with Bavarian lager yeast. This beer drinks full and malt-rich, with flavors and aromas of fresh bread, toast, and rich caramel. A subtle herbal hop spice leads to a clean finish. Our multi-year growler hoisting champion, Big Joe D, collaborated on the creation and brewing of this beer.  ABV 5.5%
