As the leaves turn and the evenings grow cooler, there’s a certain kind of beer that feels just right for the season. Our Oktoberfest Lager is brewed in that spirit — malty, golden, and deeply satisfying, it brings a taste of Bavaria’s most celebrated tradition straight into your glass.
The recipe is rooted in simplicity, using just a handful of classic ingredients. A base of Pilsner malt gives the beer its clean, slightly sweet foundation, while Munich Light malt adds a rich, bready depth — the kind of flavour that makes you think of fresh pretzels or warm bread crust. Hallertau hops, a traditional German noble variety, are added sparingly. Their soft herbal and floral character never steals the spotlight, but they keep the sweetness in check and lend a crisp finish.
Pouring a brilliant golden-amber, this lager is smooth and refreshing without being light or plain. There’s a satisfying chew to the malt character, but it finishes clean, inviting another sip. At about 5.5% ABV, it has enough body to be warming and hearty while still staying easy to drink across an evening.
Oktoberfest Lager is a beer designed for food and company. The malt-forward profile makes it a natural partner for bratwurst, schnitzel, and roasted chicken, but it’s just as comfortable alongside burgers hot off the grill or a plate of roast vegetables. Salted pretzels and sharp cheeses highlight its crisp finish, while desserts like apple strudel echo the subtle sweetness of the malt. It’s the kind of beer that doesn’t just pair with a meal — it becomes part of the celebration itself.
Compared with some of our other lagers, this one stands out for its depth. Where Leuven Lager keeps things light and crisp, Oktoberfest leans into autumnal richness. Where Poppin’ Pilsner dazzles with hop bitterness, Oktoberfest is content to let the malt sing. If you’ve enjoyed Park Bench Pilsner in the summer, think of this as the natural transition into fall — still refreshing, but with a little more heart.
This lager is brewed as our September special, timed so it’s ready to enjoy in October, right when the season calls for it. Whether you’re hosting friends, cooking a hearty meal, or simply looking for something that feels right for autumn evenings, Oktoberfest Lager is the beer to reach for. It’s a nod to tradition, a celebration of flavour, and a companion for the season.
