Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest 2019 Turns Backyards into Beer Gardens

Sierra Nevada has teamed up with German breweries to create unique Oktoberfest beers since 2015. For this year’s collaboration, Sierra paired up with Germany’s Bitburger Brewery. The beer itself utilizes Bitburger’s famous Siegelhopfen – a classified hop blend that has never left their brewery, as well as a custom yeast. This beer is more like a traditional Märzen than a festbier. The caramel and toffee notes add a touch of pleasant sweetness. Sierra Nevada founder Ken Grossman explains that these annual collaborations go beyond the beer. “Together, our families have shared great times telling stories, enjoying food and drinking beer – the perfect conditions for a great Oktoberfest.”
