BEER WILL TASTE


Pretzels and beer are a classic pairing. Here are some of our favorite brews.


Samuel Adams


BETTER IF... • It’s not icy (the darker it is, the warmer it should be). • You pour it into a glass (no drinking from the can).


’Fest facts Traditional Oktoberfest beers are darker and more alcoholic than average beers, a style that is perfectly captured by Späten- style brews. Their flavor is sweet, malted, and toasty— perfect with pretzels!


Leinenkugel’s


This refreshing brew is golden amber in color, with hints of green apple and pear. It has a crisp, clean taste, with an underlying sweetness. It is only 5.1% alcohol content, low for an Oktoberfest beer.


Darker than the average Sam Adams beer, the Octoberfest brew is deep amber in color. It has a sweet, malted flavor, but is balanced by a slight bitterness. It is a solid example of a good Oktoberfest beer.


Beck’s


Sierra Nevada


This beer is crisp and clear, while still having the deep golden color and malted flavor typical of Oktoberfest beers.


This brew has a milder taste than the others, perfect for those who are looking for something a bit lighter. It has a reddish color and a crisp texture.
