FILLING ON GROWLERS
WEIHENSTEPHAN FESTBIER
WEIHENSTEPHAN FESTBIER
A Bavarian institution, Weihensephan is the world's oldest commercial brewery. Their festbier is an okterberfest style lager, meaning it is oh so drinkable!

Couldn't imagine anything better than drinking this by the stein in a beer garden, or even your own garden!
Filling as we speak. If you don’t already have a growler, bottles are $15 each, while a fill of Weihenstephan Festbier is $25.00
