Founders Oktoberfest & Ultimate Oktoberfest Return Details

From Founders:

Oktoberfest is having a moment right now so we’re here to fill you in on a couple of releases coming your way soon: zzubreebym

Roll out the barrel…the bourbon barrel, that is! We’re taking the classic German-style Marzen and kicking it up a notch by adding the smooth, rich flavors that only nine months in a bourbon barrel can provide! Get out your Lederhosen and prepare for an intense wave of Bavaria Hysteria – Ultimate Oktoberfest is here! 10% ABV.

Available across our distribution footprint (excluding AK, AR, AZ, CA, CO, HI, ID, LA, MY, NM, NV, OK, OR, TX, UT, WA and WY – sorry!), this beer will be available in 4-packs of 12oz bottles and on draft starting in September. Ultimate Oktoberfest was created specifically to help us ring in our 25th anniversary in Grand Rapids.

The original Oktoberfest is making a comeback in our taprooms this July and nationwide this August in 12-pack cans! What’s that? A little early for Oktoberfest you say? We don’t think so and we don’t like your attitude!

Oktoberfest

Blink and you’ll think you’re in Bavaria. We went all-in on tradition with our Oktoberfest, using imported German malts and hops with beautiful lager yeast for the finish. Pours a gorgeous copper hue with a rich, malty and slightly sweet backbone. Our version is akin to the beer poured in the early days of Oktoberfest and, yes, it adheres to the Reinheitsgebot. Prost! 6% ABV.

Oktoberfest will also be available on draft in all states except for Utah.
