Fall is just around the corner, and with the season’s change comes other transitions. You’re going to swap out your shorts and flip-flops for a dirndl or lederhosen, and your shandies and lawnmower beers for seasonally appropriate Oktoberfests. Or…something along those lines. Really, we’re not picky.
Oktoberfest is a malty lager that’s brewed in the spring, lagered in cool environments during the summer months (traditionally in caves, but since few brewers’ have access to a cave, a cool fermentation chamber will do), and tapped in the fall. Its ABV is a tad north of sessionable, with some even falling on the imperial end of the spectrum, and it’s a great beer to enjoy while watching the leaves change.
