Octoberfest beers are brewed with festivals in mind, and Harpoon Octoberfest is no exception. Garnet red in color with a firm creamy head, the overall character is a rich, full-bodied, maltiness whose sweetness is balanced by generous use of hops.
Prost! We at Adirondack Brewery sought out to create one of the best traditional Oktoberfest's in New York State. The lightly sweet, bready malt character is the perfect compliment for Weisswurst, Knackwurst, Bratwurst, Bockwurst...you get the point.
Named for an episode of the “Twilight Zone” that references a painting of one of Ithaca’s waterfalls. Midnight Sun is black to deep ruby, with a tan had, smooth lager finish and mouthfeel. A moderate level of malt character from German Pilsner, Munich and Black malts is perfectly balanced by German hop characteristics. Flavors and aromas include chocolate, coffee, mild roasting, with caramel, toffee, and noble hop spiciness.
Brooklyn Winter Lager is our answer to the heavy ales and stouts that emerge in wintertime. Though dark in color with a sturdy presence, our Schwarzbier-inspired lager layers notes of chocolate, roasted barley, and dark bread into a 5.6% ABV frame that finishes surprisingly light and pleasantly dry. Winter means different things depending where you live, but Brooklyn Winter Lager is ready for any chill.
Saranac's 1888 Octoberfest is a true Octoberfest brewed with German hops, Perle and Saphir. This recipe has been with the Matt family for 4 generations. When FX Matt founded the company, he made it a point to only allow English to be spoken at the brewery. In his honor, we forgo the traditional German spelling of "Oktoberfest" and use the English spelling.
