Oktoberfest Lager
Caramel, fresh-baked bread and flowering herbs shape this fest lager. The recipe goes back to the fourth beer the brewery ever made, a Bavarian lager, and uses just two malts: Pilsner as the base and a touch of Munich. Decoction mashing, a kettle addition of Hallertau Tradition and house lager yeast complete it. Sienna, 6.1% ABV, brewed once a year in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
