Oktoberfest is in full swing! Check out what our beer specialist, Mike recommends this year!
I would like to recommend some excellent Oktobertfest–style brews, available in our adult beverage department. They generally come in one of two styles: a reddish–brown amber–style Marzen with caramel overtones; or a golden style with a sweetish, malty nose, a medium body and low to moderate bitterness. Interestingly, the largest producer of an Oktoberfest beer is none other than the Boston beer company SAMUEL ADAMS, and I would say it holds its own against its German counterparts. If you want to sample a brew straight from Munich, I recommend the HACKER–PSCHORR, made in the amber style, or the HOFBRAU, a golden–style brew.
