In 2015, Sierra Nevada bottled their Oktoberfest, for the first time. While the brewery has released editions of the the style in the past, this bottled edition was a collaboration with Brauhaus Riegele from Augsburg, Germany. Each year, Sierra intends on collaborating with a different German brewery.
Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest 2016 is a collaboration brew with Bamberg, Germany's Mahrs Brau. While Sierra Nevada has 35 years of commercial brewing under their belt, Mahrs Brau boasts a few more. The family-owned brewery was founded in 1670.
“We're excited to be working together with Mahrs Bräu,” said Ken Grossman, “We have so much in common with them in the way we approach brewing, and the way we run our businesses. We're both independent, family-owned breweries with a respect for tradition, yet we're not handcuffed by it. We're not afraid to innovate and to change things up. We both care deeply about the environment, and work to make our respective beers with a mindful eye on how that impacts the world around us.”
