Rather than a classic orange-hued Oktoberfest, Sky Meadow was inspired by the modern wiesn (meadow) beers served in the tents of Munich. Lighter in color, thanks to all German malts (Pilsner, Vienna, Munich, and Chit) and hoppier from a whirlpool addition of German Tettnang. We lagered it for six weeks near-freezing before canning to create the smoothest, crispiest festbier we could!

Canned 7/22/25, drunk 1/16/26, as pictured.
Rich malt shows loads of honey-like character. Soft, floral and mildly herbal hops behind it are clean and add good balance without going overboard. Exceptionally clean with minor mineral.
Very, very malty. Rich, long honey and sourdough with a bit of strong toast undercurrent. Lingering bitter herbs and strong pepper. Almost a syrupy caramel corn character that detracts from the clean honey and fresh, floral/herbal hops, but otherwise well-done. Not too sweet despite the intense maltiness (though pushing it).
