Sensory Description:

Pouring a deep amber hue with a sturdy head, this lager greets the senses with aromas of graham cracker, caramel, and freshly baked bread crust, accented by subtle floral and peppery notes from Hallertau and Tettnang hops. On the palate, malt richness takes center stage, smooth layers of caramel and toasted biscuit, balanced by delicate hop spice. Full-bodied yet refreshingly crisp, it finishes clean, making it ideal for raising a stein and toasting the season.

Brewer's Background:

Von Trapp Brewing was born from Johannes von Trapp’s passion for Austrian lagers, cultivated during years of travel to his ancestral homeland. In 2010, at the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, Vermont, he realized his long-held dream of creating a brewery focused on the precise and challenging craft of lagers. What began as a small facility with a capacity of 2,000 barrels grew into a celebrated brand by 2015, when a new state-of-the-art brewery allowed expansion across the U.S. Today, von Trapp Brewing honors both Austrian brewing traditions and the von Trapp family’s legacy of excellence.

Serving Suggestions:

Best enjoyed at 45–50°F in a traditional stein, Von Trapp Oktoberfest pairs perfectly with bratwurst, schnitzel, roast chicken, pretzels with mustard, or alpine cheeses. Its malty depth and crisp finish make it a natural choice for festive gatherings, hearty meals, or simply celebrating the arrival of autumn.

Von Trapp Brewing Oktoberfest Lager Beer is a festive, malt-forward lager rooted in Austrian tradition and Vermont craftsmanship, a perfect toast to the spirit of Oktoberfest.
