Brewing Details

Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline covers two styles in this category: Dortmunder/European-Style Export (5.1 to 6.1 percent ABV, 23 to 30 IBU, low bready malt that should not be caramelly) and German-Style Oktoberfest/Festbier (5.1 to 6.1 percent ABV, 23 to 29 IBU, clean, sweet, bready malt). The published strength fits either category range; its bitterness is slightly above both. Untappd labels the beer Dortmunder / Export.

• First pass: The brewery's 2026 GABF post on its home page confirms the silver; it gives no style, ABV, IBU or ingredients.
• First pass: The beer list has no 8th Anniversary Lager, and a guessed beer page URL returned 404. The only festbier on the list is Oktoberfest (Bavarian-Style Festbier, July to September), which may or may not be related.
• First pass: Which Fat Head's location or anniversary the name refers to is not stated.
• First pass: A BeerMenus search returned nothing, and web search budget ran out before Untappd or press could be tried.
