Celebrate Oktoberfest this year with a fest flagship marzen like Off Color Brewing’s Waddle, a nutty, medium-bodied version of the classic style with rounded malt notes and a delicate, yeast-driven fruitiness. Or, for a lighter option, gravitate toward Destihl Brewery’s Weissenheimer, a German-style wheat beer stacked with notes of clove and banana, along with a fluffy texture to pull the flavors through.
Waddle: $12. Craft Beer Cellar; Weissenheimer: $10. Saint Louis Hop Shop
