Jack's Abby Craft Lagers

Raise a stein and celebrate Oktoberfest with Jack’s Abby! Join us for a weekend long celebration of German-inspired food, seasonal beers, live music, competitions, and plenty of Oktoberfest festivities, including our biggest celebration yet, with Clinton Street closed down for the occasion!
Jack’s Abby Oktoberfest limited edition beer releases include the newest release in the Fest of Both Worlds series with Warsteiner from Germany, in addition to beer hall exclusives and seasonal festbier Copper Legend. The full list of Oktoberfest releases are:
<ul><li>Modern Pils - 5.5% ABV - Jack’s Abby Beer Hall Exclusive - Modern Pils is a hop forward pilsner. This beer is inspired by founder Jack Hendler's journey through lager breweries around the world and is a perfect example of the Jack's Abby value of "Tradition with a Twist." Their brewers develop interesting, complex, and flavorful beers by mixing traditional German lager brewing techniques such as decoction mashing and using Noble Hops with a newer brewing technique such as coolpooling. Modern Pils is like tasting two worlds colliding. It is also 100% naturally carbonated via spundering. The new wave pilsner finishes slightly sweet and hoppy. The beer is crisp, clean and refreshing and solid alternative for anyone looking to replace hoppier IPA's.</li><li>Steffi Chaf - 5.0% ABV - Jack’s Abby Beer Hall Exclusive -&nbsp; A crisp, golden Landbier brewed to let its ingredients shine. Made with Steffi malt, this easy-drinking lager delivers a clean, pure malt character and a smooth finish that keeps you coming back for another sip. One of their entries in the 2026 World Beer Cup, Steffi Chaf is a celebration of classic brewing ingredients and exceptional drinkability.</li><li>Hell Less - 3.0% ABV - A Jack’s Abby Beer Hall Exclusive - A low ABV Helles style brewed with Pilsner malt and imported Seitz family hops.&nbsp;</li><li>Copper Legend - 5.7% ABV - Unique style between a Marzen and a modern Festbier. Copper Legend is the perfect marriage of caramel, sweet toasty malts, and infinite drinkability. Raise one this fest season and Be The Legend!</li><li>Fest of Both Worlds Hoppy Pilsner - 5.5% ABV - This one unites the iconic lager specialists of Jack’s Abby in Framingham, MA, with the deep-rooted heritage of Warsteiner, Germany. Fest of Both Worlds is a testament to translating tradition and craftsmanship into a new, modern, beer. Fest of Both Worlds Hoppy Pilsner is the second edition, following this year's spring release of Fest of Both Worlds Maifest Lager. Built on a classic pilsner base, Fest of Both Worlds Hoppy Pilsner adds an American twist through modern dry hopping techniques and new school hop varieties (Vera Hops, Citra Hops, Motueka Hops, and Blanc Hops), creating bold hop aromatics, crisp bitterness and a clean, refreshing finish. It is naturally carbonated.</li><li>Munich Fest - 5.4% ABV - This golden, unfiltered lager offers a delicious contrast to the amber beers of the season. Expect a slightly sweet, moderately bitter and super crisp beer built for the fest.</li></ul>
