Firestone Walker announced the return of its Oaktoberfest Oak Aged Lager.

Inspired by the classic German fest bier, this seasonal release taps into the festivities of Bavarian tradition with an Oktoberfest style beer, bottled fresh from the barrel, it says.

At 5.2% ABV, Oak Aged Lager is light amber in color with a toasty and biscuity flavor, low hop bitterness and aged in oak barrels for a crisp and oaky finish, it adds.

Packaged in 12-ounce bottles, six-packs, and on draft, Oaktoberfest is available to purchase in select Firestone Walker markets across the United States.
