Every autumn, just as the leaves begin to turn, Colonial Spirits of Acton hosts a very special beer tasting…
โWhen we set out to put together an Oktoberfest tasting, we wanted to create a tasting that was far superior to a standard beer tasting,โ said Tim Bush, President of Colonial Spirits of Acton. โAfter all, this is a celebration of what we have deemed to be the best seasonal category of beers: Oktoberfest!โ
Unlike other seasonal beers, Oktoberfest is a brewing style that has persisted for hundreds of years.ย If it wasnโt for its name, ‘Oktoberfest,’ it would likely be popular year-round.
โSo, we wanted to get all of the Oktoberfest beers together so that customers can come in and try them all,โ said Tim. โGrill up some brats, offer some additional snacks, and throw in some German musicโฆ and youโve got a beer tasting worthy of being called โGrand!โ
And โGrandโ it will beโฆ GRAND OKTOBERFEST TASTING – SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TH, 1-4PM @ COLONIAL SPIRITS OF ACTON!
Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest New This Year
The new Sierra Nevada Octoberfest is getting a lot of press, including this recent write-up in Menโs Journal, and will be available for tasting at the tasting!
Sierra Nevada is a brewery more known for its IPA and other hoppy brews, and has dabbled with a fall seasonal in the past, but now, for the first time, Sierra Nevada has made a proper Oktoberfest.
โStarting this year,โ said Tim, โSierra will pick a different โbrauhausโ every year to collaborate with on the brewing of a new Oktoberfest. Itโs going to be interesting to see how Sierraโs Oktoberfest develops over the yearsโฆ The first brew is delicious!”
This year, the chosen brewery is Brauhaus Riefele of Augsburg, and the brew is truly an authentic Oktoberfest, deep golden in color and rich with a complex malt flavor due to the traditional German Steffi barleyโฆ you gotta try it!
โWe Will Open Every Oktoberfest & Pumpkin Beer We Have in Stock!โ
โWe will be opening dozens of beers from foreign and American breweries,โ said Tim. โWe will open every Oktoberfest and Pumpkin Beer we have in stock!โ
โIn addition to the brats & brew, weโll also be raffling off some great stuff! From a grill, to a fire pit, to a record player, and more, your only chance to win will be during the tastingโฆ so come join us!โ
Yesโฆ Come join us for the Grand Oktoberfest Tasting festivities, Saturday, September 26th from 1-4pm, at Colonial Spirits of Acton.ย And, donโt forget, in addition to hosting some of the best beer tastings youโll find anywhere, Colonial Spirits is also the best place to buy beer online in Massachusetts!
