Al’s of Hampden/Pizza Boy Brewing
Okto-Brofest – A Marzen-style Lager brewed in collaboration with Manor Hill Brewing.
Appalachian Brewing Company
Nut Checker – Maltier and sweeter than a light mild ale, Nut Checker boasts toasted, nutty flavors that mingle with a herbal profile from Willamette hops. $1 from each pint sold will go to the Testicular Cancer Foundation.
Big Hill Ciderworks
Pommeau – Starts with a fermented cider blend that is distilled into brandy with the help of Manatawny Still Works. Next, it's blended with Dabinett juice and aged in oak wine barrels. The result is a rich aperitif with notes of raisin and baked apple that linger on the palate. At 19.9% abv, the essence of the spirit is present on the nose and in the finish, and its warming qualities lend to a beautiful fall beverage meant to be savored.
Desperate Times Brewing Co.
Oktoberfest 2022 – A Marzen-style malty-rich lager that starts slightly sweet and finishes dry.

Pumpkin Porter – A full house of spice, crisp roast, complexity, and hearth for the colder weather. This full-bodied, robust beer is balanced with hints of sweetness and a dash of pumpkin pie spices.
Wolf Brewing Co.
Wolftoberfest – Wolftoberfest is a traditional German Lager called a Märzen brewed with various Germanic malts, Magnum and Hallertauer Mittlefrüeh hops. This brew pours a beautiful orange-amber hue with a fluffy and long-lasting off-white head that laces down the mug. If there’s one word to describe this beer, it is elegant. Highly crushable with low bitterness and rich, toasty, and bready malt flavors with a dry finish, enticing your palate for another swig. Served off our side-pull faucet, try the regular pour, the Mlíko wet foam pour, and a 7-minute slow pour for the best drinking experience.
Zeroday Brewing
Fest Lager – Pouring a pale gold hue, this lager boasts a cracker-like malty sweetness. Light and sessionable, this beer was made for kicking off flannel season with friends!
