No season is as synonymous with beer as autumn, when the most storied beer festival of them all, Oktoberfest, takes place in Munich, Germany. Since 1810, this celebration of good food, good company, and, most importantly, good beer, has most prominently featured Marzen-style lager-so much so that many refer to the beer simply as Oktoberfest.

Malt, orange, wild spices with fragrances of coriander and cloves and floral hop notes. The flavor is characterized by a robust maltiness and spiciness that is counterbalanced by an assertive crisp hop finish.

Halcyon pours an opaque honey hue and produces a huge rich tropical fruit and hop aroma. Chewy, juicy, biscuity malts and intense pineapple fruit flavours and citrus hoppiness combine with a hint of tangerine and pear drops.

Port Brewing Company's double red ale, Shark Attack is a classic west coast-style Imperial Red Ale brewed with Crystal Malts, Centennial and Cascade Hops. A smooth malty beer with a generous hop character, Shark Attack finishes out with sweet caramel hints and spicy hops.

It's not dead, but Gratzer is definitely a long-buried style from Poland. And together with 3Floyds we have unearthed the best of beer zombies. Full of bold flavors from oak-smoked wheat, and along with Midnight Wheat, this beer presents a pure black pour. A subtle, spicy note from the Polish Lublin hops hides in the aroma, just below the dark and smoky surface. Despite all appearances, the Gratzer is very drinkable at 4.5% ABV, and walks itself with a nice, light body. Cheers to drinking smoky, undead beers. Prost!

This Smoked German Style Oktoberfest pours a rich copper color with a frothy head. Intense aromas of smoke and caramel malt. Medium-bodied with a crisp smoky finish.

This delicious IPA is made with sorghum, chestnuts, buckwheat, certified gluten free oats, organic tapioca maltodextrin, and cane sugar. Horizon, Crystal and Santiam hops provide a pleasant piney and tropical hop character.

HERCULES DOUBLE IPA is not for the faint of heart. It is, however, fit for the gods. HERCULES delivers a huge amount of hops from start to finish. Its hefty backbone of nutty, malty sweetness balances its aggressive hop profile.

While Cascade Pils is inspired by classic European pilsners, this beer is really a celebration of the fresh, local Cascade hops grown by family farmers in the Pacific Northwest.  It has intense aromas of citrus and pine, supported by a medium body and dry malty palate. As you savor that unmistakable aroma and long, clean hop finish, tip your hat (and your glass) to the generations of hop farmers who help us live the locavore dream every day.

The hop forward character you’d expect from a Pale Ale, with Cascade hops lending a distinctive citrusy aroma and rich flavor.
