Top 10 Fall Beers

AMERICAN CRAFT MÄRZEN
Samuel Adams "Octoberfest"

Nothing says fall like Oktoberfest, the German celebration of the autumn harvest toasted worldwide with a special seasonal brew. Octoberfest lager is made by tweaking the traditional pale lager recipe; adding extra toasted malt deepens color, boosts alcohol and adds nutty malt sweetness. Yet the style retains the brisk refreshment and understated flavor that makes lagers the most popular beers in the world. This American interpretation of the Oktoberfest style offers an amber color and subtle flavors of toffee and honey-roasted peanuts with a crisp lager finish. Samuel Adams is the top-selling brand of craft beer in the USA, making even their seasonal brews reasonably accessible nationwide.

Price: $1.50 (12 oz.)
