Shelves: Lagunitas Tuberfest

Lagunitas Tuberfest is now available. Part of the brewery's “One-Hitter” series.

One thing you bank on with the Lagunitas One-Hitter Series – it's random. Your year will go from hoppy, to sour, to something fest-y like Lagunitas Tuberfest.

Sierra Nevada takes the traditional route by collaborating for a second year with centuries old German breweries. Lagunitas went traditional too. At least until you get to the hop bill. This malt forward lager sets itself apart from other oktoberfest-style beers, thanks to the the ever-so-hot Idaho 7 hops. So many breweries are using them right now for some pretty amazing IPAs.

Why be like everyone else right?

What you'll taste. Lagunitas Tuberfest is a head-on collision of a malty fest beer you're chugging as fall rolls around, with the unique Idaho 7 hop. The result in your glass is perfectly put by the brewery… Zing-y. Plus a little bit boozy. 7.5% ABV if you're asking. This is one fall lager that won't be blending into the shelve anytime soon.
