Portland, Oregon – Celebrating Bavarian
culture at Mount Angel Oktoberfest is a tradition dating back more than a
half-century. This year, a special collaboration with Hopworks Urban Brewery (HUB)
means festival goers can enjoy a unique Pacific NW take on a Bavarian Session
Ale with the limited edition release, Mt. Angel Volksbier. It is an easy-drinking
session ale brewed with German ale yeast along with Hull Melon and NW hops. Mt.
Angel Volksbier is one of five HUB
beers poured at the four-day event (all other beer is imported from Germany).
Available
for a limited time prior to the festival, Mt. Angel Volksbier officially
releases on Thursday, August 31st at 6 pm at HUB’s SE Powell brewpub. Purchase a 22 oz. bottle for $5.99 at
the beer release party and receive a coupon good for $2 off the festival
admission, which can be redeemed at the Mount Angel Oktoberfest Biergarten
admission gate between September 14-17. Mt. Angel Volksbier is expected to run
out quickly at the HUB pubs and various Roth’s Fresh Market stores; after that,
it will be available exclusively on tap at the 52nd Annual Mount
Angel Oktoberfest.
“Volksbier
means ‘the people’s beer’ and that’s why we are excited to collaborate with our
local Bavarian family for one of the greatest beer events in the country,” said
Christian Ettinger, Hopworks Brewmaster and Founder. “I look forward to donning
my lederhosen and proudly raising a stein as we celebrate harvest, this collaboration,
and enjoy the best ingredients sourced from the Hallertau region of Germany and
the foothills of Mt. Angel for this sessionable ale.”
“Mount
Angel Oktoberfest is pleased to partner with Hopworks Urban Brewery,” said
Monica Boschler, Mount Angel Director of Marketing and PR. “Giving back to our
communities and supporting family are highly valued shared
goals. Both groups work similarly; there is a shared mindset as we
approach our labors with an attitude of fun, diligence, and a focus on high
quality. Shared values as well as shared fun is moving this collaboration
from a partnership to friendship.”
