It’s Oktoberfest Season at Lone Tree Brewing Company
Lone Tree Brewing brings a slice of the German Oktoberfest tradition to its communities in Lone Tree and Parker, Colorado where celebrations that feature this lager will take place on September 14 and 21.
COLORADO— The 2024 batch of Lone Tree Brewing Oktoberfest is now canned and available at retailers across Colorado. Lone Tree is thrilled to bring a slice of the German Oktoberfest tradition to its communities in Lone Tree and Parker, Colorado where celebrations that feature this lager will take place on September 14 and 21.
Lone Tree’s Oktoberfest recipe was inspired by Head Brewer Dennis O’Harrow’s time spent in Europe. It’s crafted with traditional European malts and German Hallertau Mittelfruh hops to emulate this classic beer style. This amber-hued beauty weighs in at 5.5% ABV, with rich, toasty and bready flavors, minimal bitterness, and a dry finish.
Oktoberfest is available on tap and in canned 12oz. 6-packs at the brewery in Lone Tree, and at select locations in Colorado, and Kansas too. This seasonal lager will be the featured beer at Oktoberfest celebrations going down at each of Lone Tree’s locations in September— in Lone Tree on Saturday, September 14 and in Parker on Saturday, September 21. Guests can also enjoy live music, food trucks, and a beer puppeteer to boot.
Festival-goers can also find Lone Tree Oktoberfest at Keystone Bluegrass & Beer Festival, Castle Rock Oktoberfest, Parker Brew Fest and Brew Fest Under the Stars this season.

Munich’s Oktoberfest is Cancelled Again, Ska Brewing German-Style Lager Returns Nonetheless
Oktoberfest lovers across the country can find this beer in six-packs of 12-ounce cans in one of Ska’s 11 distribution states while limited supplies last.
DURANGO, CO— Oktoberfest in Munich may be cancelled for the second year in a row, but Ska Brewing is here to fill the void— or at least fill pints of their award-winning German-style Lager while supplies last. This famed lager will tap at Ska’s World Headquarters in Durango on Friday, July 30.
Although the cancelling of Oktoberfest because of COVID-19 leaves a bitter taste in one’s mouth, this beer is anything but. This malt-forward, easy drinking craft lager is made with 100 percent German-sourced Munich and Vienna malts that yield amber-brown color with nutty, bready, toasty notes. It finishes clean with a neutral yeast flavor. Here’s what some of Colorado’s media outlets have to say about this beer:
“Not only did this malty brew — nutty, clean and with just a touch of rounded sweetness — manage to set itself apart in a category that already includes a wide variety of stellar examples of Vienna-style lagers, especially in Colorado, but it won gold at the Great American Beer Festival®.” – Denver Westword
“A pointed caramelized-sugar, floral, and burnt-crust nose offers a hearty swagger. The sip follows through with big but dry well-toasted bread, an earthy hop through line, and a heavily toasted light bitter malt finish.” — Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine
The first batch of Oktoberfest that came out in a can in 2018 struck gold with the recipe at the Great American Beer Festival® in the Vienna-style Lager category. It has also been honored at the European Beer Star and The Stockholm Beer and Whiskey Festival.
Ska will kick off Oktoberfest season Friday, July 30 at 4pm at its World Headquarters, where The Container Restaurant will serve German-style brats to boot. Next week, Oktoberfest lovers across the country can find this beer in six-packs of 12-ounce cans in one of Ska’s 11 distribution states while limited supplies last.
