Sierra Nevada
How do you know when fall starts? When football kicks off? When the leaves start to change? When you finally stop sweating? How about when your favorite brewery releases its Oktoberfest for the season? I swear it instantly gets cold enough outside to throw on a flannel every time I drink a good Oktoberfest. This fall, Sierra Nevada made what might be the best Oktoberfest-style you’ll taste in this country.

Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. has teamed up with Störtebeker Braumanufaktur, a fellow family-owned brewery in Stralsund, Germany, to brew a unique Oktoberfest for the 2025 edition. The result is a rich, smooth malt backbone and notes of fresh-baked bread and honey, with traditional German hops providing balanced bitterness and herbal-spicy aroma to round out the crisp, clean finish.

That kind of brewing collab is absolutely right up my alley. I went to Germany almost a decade ago, and there are beers I tasted there that I daydream about to this day. When you get to experience this level of master brewing, you have to savor it.

Here’s what Brian Grossman, chief brewer at Sierra, had to say about this edition of the beer:
“Our relationship with Störtebeker goes beyond the development of this beer recipe, making it all the more meaningful for us,” said Brian Grossman, Chief Brewer and second-generation brewery owner. “Fans can enjoy this beer knowing there’s authentic friendship and brewing camaraderie behind it. It merges German brewing traditions with modern craft beer perspectives for a truly special drinking experience.”
