Thomas Hooker Offers Octoberfest Brew Again this Autumn
Thomas Hooker Brewing Company, Bloomfield, CT, may be “Connecticut’s Beer” but it now has an international reputation with its Hooker Octoberfest brand that received a number one rating in a blind tasting by The New York Times.
Thomas Hooker Octoberfest is beautifully balanced with each flavor component melding into a delicious, refreshing whole.
Originally brewed to celebrate the beginning of the German brewing season and the 1810 wedding of crown prince Ludwig of Bavaria and his bride-to-be, princess Therese of Saxon-Hildburghausen. This amber beer was brewed in March (“Marzenbier”) and left to age in cool lagering caves during the heat of the summer. The rich and satisfying Bavarian-style Octoberfest comes from a special blend of imported German malts that creates a full-bodied brew and stresses a malty flavor and lingering aroma. Gently hopped and delicately balanced, its true-to-style, slow fermentation and long, cold maturation produces a luxuriously smooth, award-winning brew.
