What We Are Drinking

Oktoberfest - M\\xe4rzen style lager
West Side Brewing - Westwood, Ohio\\xa0
ABV: 5.2%
IBUs: 22

"This amber lager is made from German malts, German hops, and a German lager yeast for a truly authentic Oktoberfest beer. Clean, toasted bread malts with just a touch of hop spice give way to a clean, smooth finish for a fest beer you'll want to drink by the liter."

ABV: 5.4%
IBUs: 20

"Steeped in tradition and consumed in celebration Oktoberfest is the perfect lager to herald the onset of Autumn toasted bread on the nose leads to a slightly sweet malty flavor with just a hint of noble hops, crisp and highly quaffable brewed to be drunk by the stein. Enjoy this brewer's favorite seasonal beer."

Franz Oktoberfest
Rhinegeist - Cincinnati, Ohio
ABV: 5.4%

"Franz is our Oktoberfest br\\xe4u, not traditional but \\xfcber German. He's an autumnal brew, a bit of a dreamer, often hiking in the as Alps to return brimming with great ideas. Like those brisk hikes in the steep mountains, these Munich and Vienna malts will pump you up."
