Fresh cut grass, subtle spice and bready Built with an extremely lightly kilned Pilsner malt and a touch of Vienna malt which keeps the malt character light, and bready with notes of sweet hay and cracker. Hopped in the kettle and whirlpool with German grown Hallertau Tradition and copious amounts of Czech Saaz, fermented low and slow, and lagered for many moons. The resultant beer finishes dry with a bouquet of noble aromatics including notes of forest floor, fresh cut grass, and the most subtle hint of spicy clove.

Pretzels and lightly toasted bread The fact that Paulaner can brew this beer every year for the Oktoberfest is an honour and a pleasure. They belong to the 6 breweries, which have the exclusive permission to supply their beer at the largest beer festival in the world where they serve over a million litres in the beer tents. A distinguishing feature from other festival beers is the particular harmony of balance between the sweeter taste of malt and that of the hops. The initial mild taste followed by a stronger note, invites you to take a second taste. By tradition it is also slightly stronger than a normal Lager, but the high grade of fermentation makes it particularly easy to drink. Friends of a good beer like to take the time to savour their beer, ideally with a typical beer tent snack like smoked mackerel or radish with bread and chives and mini meatballs.

Fresh cantaloupe, bubble gum, slight dank Double dry hopped hazy DIPA that uses all Southern Hemisphere hops. This beer is jam packed with Nelson Sauvin, NZ Cascade, Motueka Hop Kief, & a special variety from Eggers Hops called “Eggers Special.” It’s our first time using Hop Kief, which is a liquid dry-hop made with a cryogenic, solvent less, separation process. This will also be our first time using Eggers Special which is a fun variety from our friend Kem Eggers out in New Zealand.
