The 18th Annual Fremont Oktoberfest is taking over two city blocks of Seattle’s famed Fremont neighborhood, transforming it into the “Center of the Brewniverse” and playing host to 50 different breweries pouring more than 100 craft and seasonal brews.
The lineup represents the full spectrum of beer options, including IPAs, Oktoberfest beers, ciders, and imports.
“Fall brings an abundance of unique beer flavors that we can’t wait to showcase,” says Creative Director Phil Megenhardt. “We’ve got it all.”
In addition to numerous IPAs, such as Georgetown Brewing Co.’s Eddie and Fremont Brewing Co.’s Interurban IPA, and wheat beers, such as Peddler Brewing Co.’s Tangerine Wheat and Backwoods Brewing’s Blueberry Wheat, the Fremont Oktoberfest beer lineup is filled with truly unique flavors.
Fall is well represented with numerous pumpkin flavored brews, including Alaskan Brewing Co.’s Pumpkin Porter and Laurelwood Brewing Co.’s Laurelwood Pumpkin Ale, and Oktoberfest-style brews, including Leinenkugel’s Leinenkugel Oktoberfest, Ninkasi Brewing’s Oktoberfest, and Shiner Brewery’s Shiner Oktoberfest.
For those hoping to experience nostalgia, homage is paid to the original Munich Oktoberfest with traditional German beers, such as Hoffbrau Dunkel and Warsteiner Oktoberfest.
The more adventurous beer drinker may want to try Lagunitas Brewing Co.’s High West Cappuccino Stout and Blue Moon’s Cinnamon Horchata Ale, while the cider lover is sure to be excited with the abundance of unique flavors, including ATLAS Cider Co.’s Blackberry-Elderberry and Woodchuck Hard Cider’s Limited Release Fall.
