Karl Strauss releases Oktoberfest Throughout California, Arizona, Nevada

From Karl Strauss:

San Diego, CA  – Karl Strauss, San Diego’s longest continuously operating post-Prohibition brewing company, has released its seasonal Oktoberfest beer for the 36th year in a row. The German-style Märzen lager is more widely distributed than ever before in 2024 with Nevada locations being added for the first time. The beer had previously only been distributed in California and Arizona.  zzubreebym

Six packs of 12-oz Oktoberfest bottles are available at retail outlets in the three states, while Oktoberfest on draft is being poured at several restaurants, bars, and brewpubs throughout the region. For a store and location finder, visit www.karlstrauss.com/find-karl/.

Examples of distribution locations are Las Vegas’ Tuscany Suites & Casino, Anaheim’s Medieval Times, Disneyland’s California Adventure, Buena Park’s Pirates Dinner Adventure, San Diego’s The French Gourmet, and multiple Islands Restaurants.

Karl Strauss’ eight Southern California brewpubs are offering an Oktoberfest stein-and-fill promotion for $15, and refills of Oktoberfest and select Karl Strauss beers in the newly designed take-home stein are $6. Karl Strauss brewpubs are located in Downtown San Diego, Downtown Los Angeles, Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Temecula, and the San Diego County communities of Carlsbad, Sorrento Mesa, and 4S Ranch.

Oktoberfest is 5.0% alcohol-by-volume (ABV), and it has a golden amber color. It uses a blend of Vienna and Munich hops, along with Perle hops imported from the Hallertau region of Germany. It has toasted malt flavors, nutty undertones, and a crisp, clean finish.

Karl Strauss Executive Chef recommends pairing Oktoberfest with his new seasonal special, Pork Schnitzel Sliders, which feature beer-brined pork loin, pickled onions, beer-brined bacon, arugula, tomato, and chipotle ale mayo – all on a San Diego Pretzel Company bun.

Karl Strauss released its first version of an Oktoberfest beer “Blonde Bavarian Oktoberfest Beer” in 1989, the same year the brewery was founded. Blonde Bavarian was part of Karl Strauss’s first Oktoberfest celebration at the brewery’s original location on Columbia Street in Downtown San Diego.

The official 2024 Oktoberfest festival in Germany takes place from September 21 – October 6. This year marks the 189th iteration.
