Snyder's of Hanover Celebrates Tradition with Limited Edition Oktoberfest Pretzels

HANOVER, Pa., Oct. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- While millions of people from around the world traveled to the iconic Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany this year, Snyder's of Hanover is giving consumers a way to experience the annual beer festival from the comfort of their own homes with the introduction of new Limited Edition Oktoberfest pretzels. These pretzels are tapping into the history of Oktoberfest, crafted in the old-world style of the traditional Bavarian pretzel.

Each pretzel is individually twisted and given extra time to rise before baking, creating a unique texture that is crispy on the outside and airy on the inside. Dark in color, these robust pretzels are artfully crafted and perfect for any fall occasion.

Oktoberfest pretzels are a perfect complement to your favorite selection of fall seasonal beers, like pumpkin-flavored varieties, dark ales, Marzen-style brews and more. Try them with a creamy beer cheese dip or spicy mustard for a satisfying taste of Bavarian tradition.

"Our history is steeped in old-world tradition, and bringing the unique flavor of Oktoberfest to life just makes sense," said Faith Atwood, Marketing Manager for Snyder's of Hanover. "We invite pretzel-lovers everywhere to enjoy our newest seasonal offering and immerse yourself in the spirit of Oktoberfest."

The Oktoberfest pretzels are in stores now while supplies last. Be sure to pick up a box at your local grocery store before they are gone.
