Chandler, Arizona (August 22, 2014)—In celebration of SanTan Brewing Company’s seventh year anniversary, Oktoberfest Lager will hit shelves this fall. A traditional lager brewed annually for SanTan’s Oktoberfest celebration in downtown Chandler, Oktoberfest will launch for the first time ever in cans, September 1, 2014.
Until now, Oktoberfest Lager was available only on tap at SanTan and other local craft beer bars. Now, fans throughout Arizona and across California and Texas will have access to this crisp fall seasonal. Brewed in the Southwestern Style, Oktoberfest Lager is a malty beer with a slight sweet aroma of caramel spice. This brew pairs perfectly with bratwurst, schnitzel, soft pretzels, and knockwurst with sauerkraut.
