Oxbow brew named one of ‘Best Oktoberfest’ beers
Pumpkin spice isn’t the only seasonal flavor Maine brewers concoct with their autumn beers, and the Newcastle-based Oxbow Brewing is making a strong showing with its “Oxtoberfest” making Bloomberg’s list of the best American Oktoberfest beers of 2016.

Bloomberg lauded Oxbow’s annual Oxtoberfest for packing a “malt-forward flavor [that] finishes dry with an earthy smoke character in the periphery.” Oxtoberfest was also named easily the “most bizarre — and possibly most delicious — beer” on a list that included such heavy-hitter California breweries as Sierra Nevada and Firestone Walker.
