BROOMFIELD, Colo., Sept. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Lay out your lederhosen, it's time to pull our steins out of the cupboard and fill them with the spirited craft brew that is FestBier. Gordon Biersch, an upscale casual brewery restaurant specializing in handcrafted German lagers brewed in-house, is celebrating the arrival of fall with its annual, limited-time FestBier and specialty menu, on tap beginning Sept. 16 through Oct. 19, 2015. This year, Gordon Biersch locations nationwide will offer "The Best of the Fest," the brand's traditional German beverage and food items that have its signature Gordon Biersch flavors.
FestBier is an amber lager with slightly sweet toasted maltiness, balanced by the subtle spice of German Hersbrucker hops that will bring out the Bavarian in you. Festival goers on the hunt for a refreshing cocktail can also enjoy our Barenjager Mule made with honey liqueur, balanced with ginger beer and fresh limes, served chilled in a traditional mule mug.
"FestBier is back and bigger than ever. This year, Gordon Biersch will celebrate its love for the Bavarian heritage and make Oktoberfest the largest celebration for its guests across the country," said Stan Frankenthaler, Chief Officer of Food, Beverage and Strategic Supply at CraftWorks Restaurants & Breweries, Inc. "Whether you are toasting by hoisting up your stein of FestBier amber lager or enjoying German classics like grilled bratwurst and Hungarian sausages, guests will love the variety of traditional and signature flavors packed with the authentic celebratory spirit that will be featured in every restaurant."
