We'll be getting into the Oktoberfest mood with a UK angle - pouring London's Anspach & Hobday's 4 beers.

Festival Lager 4.6%
A classic Marzen-style Festbier, brewed to a higher abv than their core Lager, and with a higher portion of Munich malt. Bold, sweet malt flavours are balanced by a noble hop bitterness. Having spent over three months in our horizontal lager tanks, the beer has had all the time needed for the flavours and aromas to round out, and come together to create a perfectly balanced, smooth, celebratory Lager.

Rauchbier 5.6%
The Rauchbier is their homage to the great smoked beers of Bamberg. Dark, rich, and immensely smokey, The Rauchbier is as wholesome as they come. The lager fermentation and extended cold conditioning in our horizontal tanks rounds out and balances the beer, keeping it crisp, fresh and incredibly drinkable.

Hefeweizen 5.0%
A classic Bavarian inspired Wheat Beer. Whilst a touch of Munich malt adds some colour and a touch of maltyness, this beer is all about the interaction between wheat and a classic strain of Hefeweizen yeast. Typical aromas of bananas, cloves and spice lead to a full, rounded palate and a clean, refreshing finish. Huel Melon hops add some additional fruitiness to what is otherwise a very traditional interpretation of the style.

Gose 4.0%
Light, fresh, salty and tart, The Gose is their interpretation of the classic Leipzig sour beer in its purest form. Whilst not quite as sour as Berliner Weisses, a bright acidity keeps the beer incredibly refreshing, whilst a touch of salt adds a delicate savoury note, resulting in ultimate drinkability. The use of modern German hops (H. Melon. H. Blanc) bring the style up to date and add a fresh fruitiness to the aroma and palate.

These will be on the same weekend as Saint Mars of the Desert's 'Smodfest' lager weekend up at the brewery taproom. So a perfect accompaniment to keep in the Oktoberfest spirit all weekend.
