Jackalope Brewing Company- The Ranch

Join Jackalope Brewing Company this Sunday for OctoBearfest, Wedgewood-Houston’s First Annual Oktoberfest Celebration! They’ll be pouring steins of Jackalope’s very first Oktoberfest style lager, OctoBearfest! This Marzen is light copper in color and has a wonderful malty, bready aroma. The combination of Pilsner, Vienna, and Munich malt steals the show in terms of flavor as they help create a full-bodied yet clean and crisp mouthfeel, accented by the German Tettnang and Perle hops. Inspired by Bearwalker, pure maple syrup is infused during the conditioning phase to give it a light maple sweetness that is noticeable from start to finish. OctoBearfest finishes at 5.6% ABV, perfect for filling up those steins all Oktoberfest season long! Daddy’s Dogs will be slingin’ all your favorite dogs PLUS, they’re bringing out their bratwurst for the occasion!
