hopIQ found 10 beers that share Real Ale Oktoberfest's bready and malty character. Lots of bread on the palate and few hops in the way: Munich and Vienna malts give this copper-colored, medium-bodied lager its character. It was Real Ale's first lager, brewed with traditional Bavarian methods and German malt, hops and yeast, and it took bronze at the Great American Beer Festival in 2021. A fall seasonal at 6.0% ABV and 22 IBU.
