FIRESTONE WALKER RELEASES 2025 EDITION OF “OAKTOBERFEST” OAK-AGED LAGER   Iconic Seasonal Beer Brewed with All-German Ingredients and Lagered in Napa Valley Wine Barrels Paso Robles, California —Break out the steins and turn up the polka as Firestone Walker introduces the 2025 edition of Oaktoberfest—an iconic seasonal beer hailed by one  Beer Advocate  reviewer as “summer’s end in a can: a one-of-a-kind, delicious oak-aged fresh lager.”   “Oaktoberfest is made for this transition time from summer to fall,” said Brewmaster Matt Brynildson. “It’s malty and full flavored, yet also light-bodied, crushable and built for drinking.”   As always, the latest release is an oak-inspired homage to the popular “festbiers” that are synonymous with Munich’s legendary Oktoberfest celebration.

Getting My Beer On With 450 North Tropic Nuggets

Finally, I was able to get one of the Nuggets Series beers from 450 North Brewing and this NE Style DIPA did not disappoint for me. The beer itself provided a nice mouthfeel that was full of flavor, as well as a nice feel from the Double Dry Hopped process that brought in great aroma and flavor from the hops used. It had a nice juiciness and for me, I felt that it offered some nice tropical as well as citrusy flavor notes of pineapple, mango, orange, and grapefruit at the least. The finish is dry, but that can also be expected, and that dryness just made me want to drink more. At 8.5% ABV and 45 IBU, this beer plays out smooth without any booziness. A solid offering for my initiation to the brewery and one that I will say is worth trying for any fan of this style. Check out the video to see and hear more of my thoughts.
