Auntie Anne's® and Samuel Adams® Team Up to Save Oktoberfest This Fall

LANCASTER, Pa., Sept. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Prost! Cheers! Auntie Anne's^®, the world's largest hand-rolled soft pretzel franchise, is teaming up with Samuel Adams^® to offer fans a unique way to celebrate Oktoberfest in the comfort of their own homes by introducing the ultimate, limited-edition Oktoberfest At Home Kit.

The two iconic and complementary brands partnered together to create a new, one-of-a-kind kit that contains all of the essentials needed for the perfect Oktoberfest celebration. Available exclusively at GiveThemBeer.com while supplies last, each kit features curated Oktoberfest-inspired recipes, Auntie Anne's DIY Pretzel Kit, classic Samuel Adams OctoberFest, and themed apparel from steins to hats and lederhosen. There's even a "Prost from Home" playlist which features authentic tunes that fans can stream on their favorite devices.

"We can all agree that there is no better pairing than pretzels and beer, especially during Oktoberfest," said Marcel Nahm, Auntie Anne's Vice President of Marketing. "And since this historic celebration was cancelled in Germany and so many Oktoberfest celebrations are being held virtually in the states, we knew we needed to step in and offer a fun way for snackers and drinkers to still create an authentic experience at home. It was the perfect fit to team up with Samuel Adams to create these Oktoberfest At Home Kits. We hope fans love them as much as we do!"

"From brewing the most authentic, traditional märzen to celebrating at festivals across the world and at our own brewery and taprooms, Oktoberfest has always been a special time of year for Samuel Adams," said Lesya Lysyj, Chief Marketing Officer, Boston Beer Company. "Pretzels and beer are at the core of any Oktoberfest celebration, so who better to help us elevate this moment than Auntie Anne's? We've joined forces to offer drinkers a one-stop solution to celebrate this year's Oktoberfest from home with the help of two brands they know and love."

About Samuel Adams^®:
Samuel Adams is a leading independent, American craft brewer that helped to launch the craft beer revolution. The brewery began in 1984 when Founder and Brewer Jim Koch used a generations-old family recipe to brew beer in his kitchen. Inspired and unafraid to challenge conventional thinking about beer, Jim brought the recipe to life with hopes drinkers would appreciate the complex, full-flavor and started sampling the beer in Boston. He named the flagship brew Samuel Adams Boston Lager in recognition of one of our nation's founding fathers, a revolutionary man of independent and pioneering spirit. Today, Samuel Adams is one of the world's most awarded breweries and remains focused on crafting the highest quality beers through innovation and experimentation in the relentless pursuit of better. Samuel Adams remains dedicated to elevating and growing the American craft beer industry overall, including providing education and support for entrepreneurs and fellow brewers through its philanthropic program, Brewing the American Dream, which helps others pursue their American Dream.
