Here is the complete press release detailing Lone Tree Brewing’s seasonal Oktoberfest and Helles releases:

COLORADO— Oktoberfest season will tap at Lone Tree Brewing on August 7 when the brewery releases their traditional Oktoberfest in cans. They’ll bring back their classic Helles recipe in the tasting rooms at their Oktoberfest celebrations in September.

Crafted with traditional European malts and German Hallertau Mittelfruh hops, the amber-hued Lone Tree Oktoberfest is a 5.5% ABV lager with rich, toasty and bready flavors, minimal bitterness, and a dry finish. Find it on tap and in canned 12oz. 6-packs at both of the brewery tasting rooms in Lone Tree and Parker, and distributed across Colorado by Elite Brands— all while supplies last.

Lone Tree Helles, originally named Mountain Mama Helles, will return for German-style lager season exclusively at Lone Tree Brewing Main near Park Meadows Mall and at Lone Tree Brewing Parker. Similar to Oktoberfest, the selected malts showcase all the foundational German attributes from Weyermann’s heirloom varieties. The Lone Tree brewers chose to ferment the Helles with another iconic yeast strain to mimic the traditional Augustiner flavor profiles, leaving the drinker with a rich, malty-sweet experience. It will be on draft alongside Oktoberfest at each of the taprooms Oktoberfest celebrations, slated for September 5 (Parker) and September 12 (Lone Tree), and available in limited 6-packs to-go. 

“We rarely get to make Helles anymore, and we have always loved this style,” says Jerry Siote, Lone Tree Brewing Director of Operations. “The new label provides a refreshed look that fits in perfectly with our flagship and seasonal lineups, while reminding our drinkers of a classic lager that opened the doors for us 15 years ago — look for it in our mixed packs this season.”
