OBA Gold Medal winning fresh hop beer - Oktoberfresh from Zoiglhaus Brewery

Oktoberfresh Fresh Hopped Oktoberfest Lager

This 2019 Oregon Beer Awards Gold Medal winner in the other Fresh Hop category is back for 2020.

Marrying German malts and yeast with freshly picked US grown Hallertauer hops (called Abiqua in honor of the Native American name of a local river), OktoberfreshTM is a once-a-year labor of love for the Zoiglhaus brewers. 

Brewed with 100lbs of fresh Abiqua in the whirlpool. Oktoberfresh is deep orange in color from the Munich malt, which provides a rich and distinctive aroma. This lager starts malty, but ends crisp and refreshing. The fresh Abiqua hops lend a mild spiciness and delicate floral note. 

Available now in 16oz cans, 4-packs and draft.

Fresh Hop Zoigl-Kölsch

Brewed just like in Cologne with all-German ingredients, then fermented slow and cool with an authentic Kölsch yeast strain brought back from brewer/owner Alan Taylor's studies in Germany. Crisp and lightly fruity- a year-round sessionable German-style ale. 4.9% ABV / 20 IBU

Fresh Hop Zoigl-Kölsch is the standard base beer but with 75 lbs of fresh, local Tettnanger hops added in the whirlpool. Only 50 cases canned! 16oz cans, 4-packs and draft available only at the brewery!

Galaxy Defender Dry Hopped Pilsner

Based on their flagship Zoigl-Pils, the Galaxy Defender is a showcase for Australian Galaxy hops with a burst of Palisades in there as well. With the new school dry-hopping the German-style lager picks up a fresh and robust green tropical aroma. Galaxy Defender is bone dry on the palette with a clean finish.

Galaxy Defender is available now at the brewpub in huge but crushable 19.2oz cans and draft. Cans and draft will be available soon in the market.
