  • DOOM SAUCE (Lord Hobo Brewing Company - Woburn, MA)

    Lord Hobo’s flagship Double IPA has taken on a new, dark appearance. It’s as black as midnight with a thick tan head, but it still has the familiar scents of fresh citrus and the soft tropical fruit flavors you’ve enjoyed in Boomsauce. It seems like there’s something mysterious happening here.

  • OKTOBERFEST (Shovel Town Brewery - North Easton, MA)

     

    This classic beer type boasts a malt-rich profile harmonized by a crisp hop bitterness. Originating in Germany, it earned its name from the brewing month, March, or “Maerzen” in German. Following brewing, it was aged (lagered) in chilly caves until autumn, as the summer temperatures were too high for the ideal brewing conditions for lager beers.

  • GUMMIHOSEN (Stellwagen Beer Company - Marshfield, MA)

     

    Lederhosen? In Marshfield, Stellwagen embracing GUMMIHOSEN to get into the Oktoberfest spirit! Gummihosen is a contemporary Fest Bier that’s wonderfully clean and smooth. It presents a deep gold hue and greets you with a delightful biscuity malt aroma. Every sip is packed with flavor, offering a clean, slightly sweet taste with subtle toasty malt notes and a refreshingly smooth finish.

  • Whisper (Tree House Brewing Company - Tewksbury, MA)

    Whisper is Tree House’s first-ever Oktoberfest-style lager and make it using German Pilsner, Munich, Cara Munich, and Vienna malts. After brewing, they let it ferment slowly with a traditional Märzen yeast and then move it to their horizontal stainless lagering tank to mature and refine.

    With a thick, frothy head and a wonderfully creamy texture, they’re confident you’ll enjoy it as much as they do. Cheers!

  • Copper Legend (Jack's Abby - Framingham, MA)

    Oktoberfest stands as the most iconic beer festival globally, and Copper Legend represents the ideal fusion of caramel, sweet toasted malts, and limitless drinkability.

  • Pursuit of Sappiness (Mayflower Brewing Company - Plymouth, MA)

    Pursuit of Sappiness is a fresh take on Mayflower’s classic brown ale, now with maple syrup. Pour it into your glass, and you’ll see a dark brown beer with a creamy, mocha-colored head. It smells like caramel, toffee, brown sugar, chocolate, maple syrup, and molasses.
