Featured Beer - octoberfest

Pairing Recommendations

1. Smoked Blue Cheese

• The sweet, toasty malt and caramel notes in the Oktoberfest help temper the bold, smoky intensity of blue cheese. Its creamy, malty richness cuts through the cheese’s pungent saltiness, resulting in a harmonious interplay of flavors.

2. Classic BLT (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato Sandwich)

• Bacon: The beer’s malt-forward sweetness and toasted character squad up beautifully with smoky, salty bacon.

• Tomato & Lettuce: The crisp, clean finish of the lager refreshes the palate, cutting through the fattiness and balancing the freshness of tomato and lettuce.

3. Other Great Matches

• Roasted or grilled sausages, especially bratwurst or wurst—complements the malt’s toasty graininess.

• Soft pretzels with mustard—the bready chew and tangy dip echo the beer’s bready aroma and clean finish.

• Hearty pork roast or pork schnitzel—an ideal companion to the caramel malt backbone.
