Left Hand was built on a reverence for traditional beer styles like the ones associated with Oktoberfest. This year’s Oktoberfest Märzen Lager returns for the season with rich copper hues that will shine from your stein. Balancing malt-driven notes of bread crust, biscuit and toasted pretzel with just the right amount of noble hop character, it culminates in a dry & spicy finish. Deliciously repeatable, this take on the classic style is the perfect way to toast the season of crisp air, changing leaves, and festival feasts.

This unforgettable event would not be possible without the support of amazing sponsors. This year’s Oktoberfest sponsors include presenting sponsor FNBO, platinum-level sponsor Colorado Materials Inc., gold-level sponsors High Plains Bank and AirGas, and silver-level sponsor Plante Moran.
