Prepare for a Toast: Oaktoberfest is Here Once Again
Yes, folks, you heard it right! In the midst of all things flavored with pumpkin spice as heralds of the fall season, it’s time to focus on something equally exciting and palatable – beer! Not just any beer, but Firestone Walker’s mesmerizing Oaktoberfest. As we step into the (deliciously) chilling breezes of 2023, this German-style marzen lager is making its grand return.
The Legacy of Firestone Walker
Firestone Walker Brewing Company is no unknown name in the crafted beer landscape. It came into existence back in 1996 when brothers-in-law Adam Firestone (the ‘Bear’) and David Walker (the ’Lion’) decided to venture into wine country territory, or the Central Coast of California. Ever since, the award-winning brewery has been gracing our palates with signature choices such as DBA (Double Barrel Ale), Pivo Pils and their infamous Oaktoberfest.
Oaktoberfest is a traditional tribute to the classic German-style marzen lager, offering a flavorful blend of toasted malt, subtle hops, and a crisp finish. As can be expected from Firestone Walker, this brew does not disappoint when it comes to delivering the full-bodied, robust flavors that are characteristic of fall season beers.
What Makes this Year’s Oaktoberfest Special?
Every year, anticipation builds up for this limited seasonal release, and in 2023, things are no different! Firestone Walker has promised that this year’s rendition will be an evolution of the previous brews, upholding the benchmarks of quality and taste that they have set over the years.
Engaging Aesthetics
This year’s Oaktoberfest is not just about the beer. The packaging is as sensational as the brew itself. Firestone Walker has taken extra care in designing an attention-grabbing Oaktoberfest can that carries forward the brewery’s tradition of creative packaging. Swirls of vibrant hues mimicking the fall color palette adorn these cans, transforming them into portable masterpieces filled with delicious beer. It’s difficult to decide what’s better – the eye-catching packaging or the satisfying lager contained within!
Refined Taste
Firestone Walker’s brewing team, led by Brewmaster Matt Brynildson, has worked meticulously to give us a marzen lager that tastes just as it should – with a perfect balance of hops and malt, and the precise degree of crispness. This beer is not too heavy to turn you off, and neither is it too light to disappoint a beer enthusiast. It’s precisely what you want in your stein during the festive fall season, offering a satisfying mouthfeel and a lingering aftertaste that keeps you coming back for another sip.
How and Where to Enjoy Oaktoberfest?
Though traditionally, the best way to enjoy Oaktoberfest would be to head to a nearby pub or beer festival, everyone understands the changing circumstances amidst the global pandemic. Thankfully, Firestone Walker is committed to ensuring you don’t miss out. Look out for six-packs and 12-ounce cans of Oaktoberfest at select stores across the nation, adhering to COVID-19 safety precautions. You can also order this festive brew online to enjoy in the comfortable coziness of your home.
