With our Oktoberfest 2025, a fantastic Festbier that’s had a full five weeks of lagering, we’ve aimed to capture the essence of Germany’s biggest beer festival, but with our own signature touch.
It’s a work of art created with the perfect blend of two German malts: Barke Pilsner and Munich. They give it a delicious, grainy base that takes you straight to the fields. The Titan hop provides the first note, a clean bitterness that gets your palate ready. Meanwhile, the Hallertau Mittelfrüh and our own house yeast work their magic, giving it a pure aroma with hints of citrus and flowers.
But where it will really win you over is the taste. It’s incredibly crisp and tastes of freshly baked bread, finishing with a spiced note that’s a bit like freshly ground pepper.
