Wayfinder Beer’s Halloween Horror Trifecta

Wayfinder Beer is re-releasing three popular and award-winning horror themed beers for the month of October. Fresh canning runs of Funeral Bock and perennial favorite Hell are available now, and 16oz cans of Terrifica Italian-style Pilsner drop on October 12th.


Celebrating Halloween home alone this year seems less scary with this selection of cans, but atleast those going out and getting dressed up this year may be more likely to wear a mask.

FUNERAL BOCK - Double decocted Black Bock (available now)
A double decocted black bock, brewed strongly with Münich and Röast malts, then ferments extremely cold with our secret heritage lager yeast. It's finished with an excessive, hibernative lager schedule. This iteration of German bockbier is our dirge to the Fall. Toast, caramel, dried fruit.


TERRIFICA - Italian-Style Horror Pilsner (release date: 10/12)
Inspired by the Pils+Love Festival, an international event founded in Italy, we
designed this special Pilsner with help from our friends at Heater Allen Brewing  and Modern Times’ Belmont Fermentorium here in Portland. Aggressively spicy, citrusy, floral and yeasty elements ride above a dry, crisp, lightly golden malt backbone. A distinctive yet elegant take on a most classic style. The spirit compels you to take another sip! Aromatic, hop-forward, dry.

Voted one of the best 11 beers in america by bloomberg news


HELL - Munich-Style Helles (available now)
Our brewmaster Kevin Davey is a card-carrying lagerphile; we think this beer may show it off the best. Super clean, refreshing, distinctive, with a nice hint of Hallertauer. The gold standard for golden lagers. Crisp, bright, floral, sessionable.

A bronze medal winner at the 2019 Great American Beer Festival™
And the New School’s 2019 Oregon Beer of the Year.


And how can you forget Number 6 Lager? Though it was released this summer and not part of the October halloween releases, Wayfinder’s first beer in 6-packs is still available.

One of Wayfinder’s biggest hits, Number 6 Lager is a Canadian-style Lite lager crispy with a touch of German noble hops and rice to lighten the body. This is a true 4.5% ABV crusher. Available in 12oz/6-pack cans.
