About

Goose Island Oktoberfest is a German-style Märzen lager brewed in Chicago with respect for Bavarian tradition. This light, clean beer presents an inviting aroma of toffee and burnt sugar, followed by sweet dried apricots and subtle earthy bitterness. The finish is dry and crisp, with a pleasant balance between malt sweetness and moderate hop bitterness. As part of Goose Island's heritage—established in 1988 by John Hall following his inspiring tour across Europe—this seasonal beer embodies the brewery's philosophy of delivering authentic, expertly crafted brews. At 5.7% ABV, it's an approachable choice for those celebrating the Oktoberfest tradition.
