Paulaner | Oktoberfest Bier
#4 - Festbier - 6% ABV
16oz - $8
5oz - $4
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.

Orange fruit bomb! Notes of passion fruit and tangerine. 100% Sauvignon Blanc from Mendocino County. Natural, Organic, Unfined Unfiltered Orange Wine. Notes of Passion Fruit and Stone Fruits. Minimal Sulfur. 10ppmThe terroir in Gaillac is made up of clay, limestone, sand and silex soils. Gaillac receives more sunshine than Bordeaux and is graced by a cool maritime climate. Between the historic family vineyard of Très Cantous and the Roucou-Cantemerle vineyard totaling 20-hectares, they farm Mauzac Vert, Mauzac Noir, Ondenc, Duras, Muscadelle, and Prunelart. To drink the wines from Plageoles is to experience the fruit and terroir of living history. The Plageoles are one of the oldest winemaking families in the AOC, and they are thoroughly invested in retaining the traditions and quality for the AOC that had been often overlooked, that however, have now been receiving well-deserved praise. The Terroirists wines come from the Plageoles family’s own impressive bush vines; unlike their other wines that are single-varietal, this range is based on blends (or field-blends) of multiple indigenous varieties. Grapes: Muscadelle (80%); Mauzac, Ondenc, Verdanel, Loin de L’œil & Sauvignon (20%) Vineyard: bush vines on clay-limestone. Estate-owned, certified organic, farmed by the Plageoles family themselves. Making of: the grapes are hand-harvested. The Muscadelle is whole-bunch macerated for 11 days, pressed and then aged in demi-muids for 9 months, the remaining varieties are direct-pressed and aged in tanks. Both spontaneous and ML fermentation happen spontaneously. The two parts are blended at the end of elevage. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, with a tiny bit of sulfur (20ppm total). Personality: charming orange with notes of dried fruit, candied orange peel and exotic spice like curry or turmeric – super cool food-pairing material! Our fave combo is with some not-too-strong cheeses, Indian / Moroccan cuisine or poultry, but don’t hesitate to have fun finding your own matches. Or to drink it on its own Grapes are hand-harvested, sorted in the vineyard, destemmed, and then macerated together for about 10 days. The juice is then fermented with indigenous yeast and zero sulfur in stainless steel for 7 days, rested for cca 8 months in stainless steel tanks, bottled with zero addition of sulfur (total SO2 16ppm). Unfined and unfiltered.
