Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest (2025)

Brewer's Notes: Our authentic Oktoberfest is a collaboration with Störtebeker, an award-winning German brewer internationally recognized for quality and innovation.

This modern Festbier leans into a rich, smooth malt backbone with notes of fresh-baked bread and honey. Traditional German hops provide balanced bitterness and herbal-spicy aroma, rounding out the crisp, clean finish. Prost!

Malts: Bonlander, Caramel Munich, Pale, Pilsner
Hops: Opal, Perle, Spalter Select, Tradition

Tasting Notes

Sept. 2025

I have been tasting this festbier, Weihenstephaner Festbier, Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest Märzen, and Tucher Festbier. While I like this beer, I like it the least of the four. It lacks complexity.

Rating: 5 glasses

Aug. 2025: A wonderful festbier. A nice sweetness balanced by hops. Easy to drink and I want more.

Rating: 5.5 glasses
