Brewer's notes:
​
Two of my favorite beer styles are the German Oktoberfest and its close cousin, the Festbier. The former is malty and mellow and the latter is essentially a bigger Pilsner that's ready to party. Since we have our Oktoberfest beer covered with Ryetoberfest, I figured it was time to make a Festbier. And since October isn't for a few more months, let's celebrate patio weather!
​
This is a traditional German Festbier - 100% German Pils malt, yeast, and water, but it features the OG American craft hop, Cascade, and to wink at summer cocktails - a touch of pomegranate puree. Here's to summertime and to holding us over until October!
​
Prost!
