Lawson's Finest Liquids 
Fest Bier! 5.3%
This festive offering is inspired by the lagers served at Munich’s Oktoberfest. Toasty, biscuit notes from German malts complement the earthy, floral tones of noble hops, making this a Prost-worthy pint with a finish as crisp as the Vermont air.

Good Measure Pub & Brewery 

 Oktoberfest 5.8%

Our yearly release of Oktoberfest! This German-style Marzen lager was brewed with a blend of Vienna, Munich, and Caramel malts to give big notes of caramel candy, toasted multigrain bread, and dark honey. It was fermented with our house lager yeast, low and slow, and then lagered for an additional four weeks at near-freezing temps for a crisp, clean, snappy finish. It is incredibly drinkable and is one of our favorite beers of the year.

Ten Bends Beer 

 Fresh-Hopped Amber 7%

It’s Harvest Ale season at Ten Bends! Since 2014, we’ve brewed with freshly picked Vermont hops, and today we partner with @champlain. valley.hops, harvested just hours before hitting the kettle. Annually, in early autumn, we source local fresh hops, and within hours of their harvest, we use them to brew Ten Bends’ Harvest Ale. Each year, this results in a unique ale highlighting the freshly harvested hop variety’s characteristics and the growth region’s terroir.

NORTH CHAIR BREWING 

Oktoberfest 5.8% 

Our Oktoberfest is a loving celebration of autumn in Vermont, the perfect accessory for your leafpeeping adventures. The dark, malty flavors of this beer, along with the crisp, cool fall air, hint at the upcoming ski season. This artful Märzen Lager strikes a perfect balance between richness and refreshment, with flavors of sweet and toasty malt, refined German hops, and crisp mountain water.

 Magic Carpet Ride 5%

Hop on the Magic Carpet Ride, a session IPA so light, you’ll float from first sip to last. This new beer is hopped with Nelson Sauvin, Mosaic, and Comet hops, giving it a sweet and spicy nose with a full-bodied mouthfeel. Notes of black cherry, citrus, and cotton candy will take your taste buds on a ride straight to the top of the bunny hill.
