BEER
- Samuel Adams, Oktoberfest - blends heartly malts and a light hop character for a deep, smooth flavor with notes of caramel.
- Angry Orchard, Crisp Apple - bright, crisp apple flavor, just like biting into a fresh apple. It is a perfect balance of sweetness and bright acidity from culinary apples and dryness of traditional cider making apples, resulting in a complex, yet refreshing, hard cider.
- Yuengling Oktoberfest - blend of Tettnang and Hallertau hops. This medium-bodied beer is the perfect blend of roasted malts with just the right amount of hops that serves up a slightly-sweet, toasted character and mild herbal bitterness.
- New Belgium, Atomic Pumpkin - a pumpkin ale featuring cinnamon and habanero chili peppers for just the right amount of heat. This brew has the perfect balance of sweet and spicy.
- Shiner Oktoberfest - highest-quality two-row barley, Munich and caramel malts, along with German-grown hallertau tradition and hersbrucker hops.
- New Belgium, Voodoo Ranger Slasher IPA - a balanced hop punch that leans into classic pine and crisp citrus characteristics.
- Eureka Heights, Von Wolfhausen - a traditional German-style Festbier with a smooth, crisp finish and rich malt character, crafted to celebrate Oktoberfest season.
