Oktoberfest Available On-Draft and In Bottles, September Through October
EUGENE, Ore.—Ninkasi Brewing Company introduces its second Prismatic Lager Series release this year, Oktoberfest, available on-draft and in 12-ounce bottles throughout Oregon; Washington; Idaho; Montana; California; and Vancouver, British Columbia.
This Dortmund-style lager is the second Prismatic Lager Series release this year following the spring release of Sterling Pils. Established in 2011 with the introduction of Ninkasi’s Helles Belles, the Prismatic Lager Series was created to highlight Ninkasi offerings that are Northwest embellishments of traditional lager styles.
“We are very excited to bring our Dortmund-style lager into the Prismatic Lager Series as Oktoberfest,” says Jamie Floyd, founding brewer and co-owner of Ninkasi. “Neither a helles nor pilsner, this style embodies a perfect balance of malt and hops that is neither sweet nor bitter.”
Celebrate the harvest like our friends in Munich, and cheers to the changing of seasons!
