Beer that Tastes Like Beer – Oktoberfest

Brewed by: Big Ditch Brewing Company

When Oktoberfest rolls around, it’s time for German beer. This malt-forward lager has a fairly light, refreshing body and notes of toasted bread, fig, and a slight touch of honey on the finish. 

Ghost Lantern

ABV: 6.5%

If you’re looking for a quintessential fall brew, this is a beer that you can’t miss. A creamy, complex blend of pumpkin and coffee flavors, this can best be described as pumpkin pie in beer form.

This traditional Oktoberfest beer is brewed with German malts that give it a rich, malty flavor and has spice from the hops that make it a perfectly balanced brew.

King Edward Porter
