Beer Selection
Kinslahger Oktoberfest Marzen
Highlighting the toasted flavors of Munich malt, this is the beer most Americans associate with Oktoberfest and the arrival of fall. It is an amber lager in the Marzen style and represents the beer served during the Oktoberfest celebration in Munich from 1872 to 1989. Several Bavarian breweries continue to brew this style today though only seasonally and primarily for export to the United States.

Kinslahger Oktoberfest Festbier
Beginning in 1990 a new style was developed by the city brewers of Munich to be served at the annual Oktoberfest celebration. Lighter in color and with more restrained malt character this “new” festbier has a soft finish emphasizing bready Pils malt balanced with noble hops. Seldom packaged for export, festbier is difficult to find outside of Munich.

Our twist on the German Marzen bier, we give you a Paso Marzen. Traditional imported malts offer subtle honey-like aromas with hints of Noble hop spice. The stars of this brew are the imported Pilsner and Vienna malts that ofer malty sweetness that carry through to the end. German Hallertau hops add rich Noble character to balance this exceptional Marzen. This beer is 100% stainless steel and gets the name Oaktoberfest as an ode to our hometown, Paso Robles, Spanish for “Pass of the Oaks.” True to Oktoberfest custom, this beer makes its debut in time for fall to celebrate the age-old German tradition.
