Our Oktoberfest is brewed with the highest quality German malts, hops and yeast using traditional Bavarian brewing methods.

84	Great Divide Brewing Company Hoss Oktoberfest Lager American-Style Marzen/Oktoberfest \| 6.2% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: SANTA

Hoss is based on the Märzen lagers of Germany. Rich, layered malt notes, with some hints of cherry and dark notes, dominate while the unique addition of rye imparts a slightly earthy, spicy character. Hoss finishes crisp and dry, and its brilliant red-orange color is a toast to the late-summer sunsets that make the perfect backdrop for this beer.

Mind Haze is a hazy IPA done the Firestone way, created after a full year of experimentation at our Propagator R&D brewhouse in Venice, California. This is a beer that breaks the mold with explosive hop aromas, a luscious texture and unsurpassed shelf freshness for a hazy IPA. Juicy, fruity and creamy, with pronounced tropical flavors and a true hazy-style mouthfeel.

Digitox is a scaled up, hoptimally saturated Double IPA version of our beloved Foxglove. Ramping up the New Zealand and American hop combination that is near and dear to our hearts is not a project we took lightly. True to Foxglove's straw yellow color and pillowy mouthfeel, Digitox exudes big flavors of white wine grape, ripe melon, grapefruit, and berries.
