Goose Island Oktoberfest
Brewers Notes: Brewed in the traditional Märzen style, our Oktoberfest pours a brilliant copper over rose color with a bone white head. Notes of toffee and burnt sugar in the aroma and flavors of sweet dried apricots are delivered in a dry malty body with the mild earthy bitterness that is the hallmark of Hallertau hops.

Odell Oktoberfest
Brewers Notes: There’s plenty to celebrate when fall arrives in Colorado. The warm days grow shorter, the cool shadows grow longer, and the aspens put on their golden, grand finale. Brewed with biscuity sweet Munich malts and spicy, herbal noble hops, our Oktoberfest is a reminder to stop and enjoy the show.

Odell Broombeere
Brewers Notes: We love blackberries as much as the next bear. So we wondered: what if we used the sweetness of those berries to complement the saltiness of a German-style sour wheat beer? Our blackberry gose (GOES-uh) is a balance of tangy and sweet, and as crisp and lively as some of our favorite late summer evenings.
Recipe Information:
- Style: Blackberry Gose
- Alcohol by Volume: 4.8%
- International Bitterness Units: 7
Excelsior Docktoberfest
Brewers Notes: An amber lager brewed with authentic German malts and hops. Marzenbier was first brewed in Bavaria to be stored to last through the seasonal brewing drought. Similarly, Minnesotans enjoy it each autumn as we build some final warm-weather boating memories to last us ’til ice out.
Recipe Information:
- Style: Märzen Lager
- Alcohol by Volume: 6.2%
Alaskan Heritage Coffee Brown Ale
Brewers Notes: English Ales are typically malty-sweet, often with a rich, caramel or toffee-like character. Hints of coffee are often present in this style, so this was a perfect beer upon which to base this unique coffee creation.
This rich brown ale has a big cocoa aroma with light earthy roasted and gourmet coffee notes. The flavor has a light sweetness, with fruity hazelnut and medium coffee flavors. There is a deep coffee base, without an overwhelming coffee flavor that allows the great brown ale with a hint of Cascade and Calypso hops to shine through.
Recipe Information:
- Style: Brown Ale
- Alcohol by Volume: 7%
- International Bitterness Units: 19
- Color: 30 SRM
- Hops: Cascade and Calypso hops, and additions of hand-picked Brazilian coffee
- Malts: English malted oats, English chocolate malt, and Pale malt roasted with coffee beans at Heritage Coffee Company
Oskar Blues Ten Fidy
Brewers Notes: Ten FIDY Imperial Stout – This titanic, immensely viscous stout is loaded with inimitable flavors of chocolate-covered caramel and coffee and hide a hefty 65 IBUs underneath the smooth blanket of malt. Ten FIDY (10.5% ABV) is made with enormous amounts of two-row malt, chocolate malt, roasted barley, flaked oats and hops. Ten FIDY is the ultimate celebration of dark malts and boundary-stretching beer.

- International Bitterness Units: 65
- Malts: two-row malt, chocolate malt, roasted barley, flaked oats
Elysian Night Owl

Tallgrass Zombie Monkie
Brewers Notes: Zombie Monkie is a dark, rich porter, carefully brewed for the post-apocalyptic world to come. It’s crafted with loads of roasted dark chocolate and specialty malts and then inoculated with enough hops to add a floral citrus character to the finish. It’s hearty and complex, because you might be drinking it for a long time with the other survivors. Each Zombie Monkie can includes a textured “tactical grip” so that your beer doesn’t slip while you’re fleeing from the undead.
Recipe Information:
- Style: Robust Porter
- Alcohol by Volume: 6.2%
- International Bitterness Units: 35

Kona Pipeline Porter
Brewers Notes: Hawaii is home to the North shore of Oahu, a seven mile stretch of coastline where big wave surfing was born. The Bonzai Pipeline is a particularly revered surf break that serves up steep, curling waves with a rush that leaves surfers wide-eyed and grinning. Kona Brewing Co. honors this mecca of surfing with a beer that delivers a little kick and thrill of its own.
Brewed with Hawaiian Kona Coffee, Pipeline Porter has a boost of flavor with a smooth style that makes it as awesome as the waves that inspired it. The dark chocolate color, rich roasted malt flavor and smooth coffee finish takes the edge off when the waves are high and the wind is blowing. Pipeline Porter’s pronounced roasted malt character and rich Kona coffee flavor and aroma will curl around your tongue like Hawaii’s famous Pipeline surf break itself!
