Beer description

When Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria wanted to celebrate his wedding engagement in 1810, he did what any good Bavarian prince would – he threw a beer festival. Both the festival and the special beer served there became known as Oktoberfest. Brewed from the finest German malt and hops, Brooklyn Oktoberfest is true to the original style, full- bodied and malty, with a bready aroma and light, brisk hop bitterness. Malts:
  • Bavarian Heirloom Munich
  • Pilsner Malts (malted specially for us in Bamberg).
Hops:
  • Hallertauer Perle,
  • Hallertauer Mittelfrueh.
