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.

A beer with a distinctive, unique character – but still very mild and a joy to drink. Every sip a taste of Bavaria’s joy of life. Barley from the region is used to produce this unique beer, a grain famous for its very rich soil.
