No, the calendar isn’t playing tricks on you, even though October feels like it’s miles away. We’re excited to announce the anticipated comeback of none other than the master of malt celebrations – the amazing Firestone Walker Oaktoberfest!
Oaktoberfest: A Love Song to German Traditions
If you’re not familiar with this much-loved creation, let’s get you acquainted. The Firestone Walker Oaktoberfest is a beer crafted in the traditional style of a Märzen lager. This traditional German beer is known for its robust character and exceptional drinkability. It’s a customary brew served in the throes of Oktoberfest, a world-famous German tradition of celebrating Bavaria’s beer heritage.
What Sets Oaktoberfest Apart?
Few breweries outside Germany can capture the essence of a true Märzen Lager like Firestone Walker. It’s a balance of three unique factors: the malt, the hops, and the process. The malt offers a balance of sweetness and a slight hint of roast, delivering a full-bodied flavor unmatched in subtlety. Complementing the malt is a blend of German and American hops, each contributing their distinct floral, spicy, and citrus notes. However, what defines this beer is Firestone Walker’s time-honored brewing techniques that ensure a careful infusion of these elements.
A Journey Through Time with the Oaktoberfest
First introduced in 2005, Oaktoberfest has been a seasonal staple for beer enthusiasts for almost two decades. Each year, anticipation builds ahead of its release, signaling the kickoff of the Halloween season, and the start of the Oktoberfest celebrations. It’s a blend of the unique past and the vibrant present, every sip a salute to the traditional Märzen Lager brewed in the heartland of Bavaria.
A Limited Seasonal Release
Firestone Walker Oaktoberfest, akin to the Bavarian tradition, is a carefully timed release. It’s a classic example of anticipation equating to sweeter rewards. The limited availability adds an extra layer of excitement while waiting to get hands on the amber-colored brew.
Crafting the Flavor of Oktoberfest
The brewing process of Oaktoberfest is a remarkable tribute to timeless traditions. Firestone Walker believes in slow cooking, which means this beer is brewed in spring, allowing it to lager throughout the summer months. This patient process results in a crisp, clean, and delightfully complex beer that harmonizes with the festive season’s spirit.
