Goose Island Oktoberfest Returns

Goose Island Oktoberfest
In my mind, Oktoberfest beers arrive a little before pumpkin beers do. Beer releases get a little confusing this time of year. Goose Island Oktoberfest has returned. We estimate that it has been more than five years since this beer was last brewed and released, large scale. Interestingly, the Goose Island website doesn’t even mention its return.

The best domestic and imported German malts are used to produce our delicate yet complex bottom fermented lager. Its sweet maltiness dominates the palate but leaves behind a subtle, clean hop finish. Each batch of our Oktoberfest is cold lagered ensuring optimal enjoyment in the finest old-world tradition.

Style: Oktoberfest
Availability: 12oz bottles, Draft. Fall seasonal

5.8% ABV
