- Biers of Oktoberfest
The original Oktoberfest in Munich celebrated the local bier breweries and their traditional craft. In honor of their noble intentions, McKinney Oktoberfest features authentic German bier such as Hofbrau as well as McKinney’s own Tupps. McKinney’s Oktoberfest offers an excellent opportunity to try multiple German flavors and styles all at one event!
HofbrauOriginalA classic style and highly drinkable “Helles” Lager. The clean, whole grain toast aromas follow through to a dry medium-to-full body with excellent balance of lightly honey malt, astringent citrus and earth accented hops on the finish. ABV = 5.1%Hofbrau Amber Marzen (Oktoberfest)The name derives from the fact that it was originally brewed in March,“German März.” It was brewed with more alcohol so it would last over the summer without spoiling. The use of Münchner malt (darker malt but not roasted) gives it the light amber color with a caramel and biscuit flavor with an intense hop aroma. ABV = 6.1% | |
TUPPS BreweryTupps HefeweizenTupps Version of the traditional Bavarian Wheat Style Beer. Hefeweizens are a type of weiss beer—German for “white beer.” Hefeweizen itself translates to “yeast wheat” in German. Made up of >50% wheat, weiss beers are characterized by a strong presence of banana and clove, even vanilla or bubblegum, in the aroma and flavor. 5.2% ABV McKinney OktoberfestInspired by classic Munich Oktoberfest beers, but with the spirit of Texas craft, this ale brings a roasted flavor while remaining drinkable. Take three cans, fill your stein, and strap on your lederhosen...it's time to chicken dance! ABV = 5.5% |
