Best For Wurst--OktoberFish Is Back

Back for its seventh year, Flying Fish OktoberFish hits the stores during the month of August. Flying Fish's take on this classic German style, the O'Fish uses German malts, hops and yeast.

(Have a few minutes to burn? Head on over to the Lederhosen Museum)

OktoberFish is available only for a short time starting in August, so enjoy it while you can. Available in 12 oz. bottles, 1/2 and 1/6 kegs.
