Paso Robles, CA:
After a one-year hiatus, Firestone Walker Brewing Company’s seasonal
Oaktoberfest makes its packaged return this month in a dashing new
16-ounce can format.
“We
brewed a single batch of Oaktoberfest for select draft accounts last
year, but that was it,” said Brewmaster Matt Brynildson. “It’s cool to
have this beer back in the package, particularly in this new four-pack.
You might be tempted to retire your stein and quaff it straight from the
can.”
Oaktoberfest is a “Paso Märzen Bier” made to honor the classic Märzen
style while exhibiting just a hint of extra West Coast hoppiness. All
of the ingredients are sourced from Germany, including Vienna and
Pilsner malts as well as Hallertau Tradition hops.
“Malty
sweetness and subtle honey-like aromas take the lead on this beer, but
there’s also a subtext of noble hop spiciness,” Brynildson said. “It’s
mellow and rounded, and has a beautiful autumn orange hue.”

Oaktoberfest
is a seasonal offering for late summer and fall, and will be available
in all Firestone Walker markets starting in mid August. While
Oaktoberfest has long been a fall staple at the brewery, this latest
release marks only the second time it has been packaged.
The
name Oaktoberfest is a nod to the brewery’s hometown of Paso
Robles—Spanish for “Pass of The Oaks”—as well as the longtime presence
of oak barrels as a central part of the Firestone Walker brewing
operation. The checkered blue and white pattern on the label echoes the
Bavarian flag and pays homage to the Oktoberfest style.
