Okto Festival Ale
Inspired by Bavarian Oktoberfest, Widmer's full-bodied festival ale shows distinctive malt flavors and a mild floral character. Brewed in the Märzen style at 5.3 % ABV, it is Widmer's tribute to the Bavarian original, and it comes with a toast to match: Prost. The brewery was founded in 1984 by Kurt and Rob Widmer.
