Oktoberfest Begins September 29 at Noon

Due South's annual beer celebration and festival comes back this year starting September 29 and going through October 1. It's a three day party full of good beer, good food, and good friends.

We will be releasing some sought-after favorites, like our What the Hef? hefeweizen, to share along with the current seasonal lineup of Isle of MaGourdo pumpkin ale and Oktoberfest marzen lager. In addition, expect to see special beer releases like our Doppelbock, Pumpkin Latte, and Cranberry What the Hef?.

The festivities wouldn't be complete without a collection of food trucks:

Thursday: 5pm to 10pm - Flavor of Munich
Friday: 5pm to 11pm - Flavor of Munich and Tucker Duke's Food Truck
Saturday: 12pm to 10pm - Outside the Box Food Truck and Rolling Chefs

Beginning on Thursday the 29th, you'll be able to purchase a half-liter Due South stein with a pour of Oktoberfest for only $10! Keep the glass and bring it back during the event for half-liter fills of the tasty lager for regular price. Thursday also marks the release of a run of What the Hef? cans that will be available to-go as well as on draft.

On Saturday, we're teaming up with Rolling Chefs to provide a Doppelbock Spent Grain pretzel, made with grain leftover from brewing the doppelbock. It will be the perfect pairing to any Due South beer, and the ultimate brewery-to-chef-to-table experience. Then, look out for Miss Oktoberfest from the American German Club of the Palm Beaches who will be on site around 6 p.m.!

Recent Beer Releases

Here are some new beers now available in the taproom and in the market

Oktoberfest - Brewed as a traditional German Marzen, this beer is created each year to celebrate Oktoberfest! So grab a dimpled mug, grill up some bratwurst and enjoy our take on this historic European style.
Simcoe Dry Hopped Pale - Part of our Dry Hopped series, we take our 5.1% ABV pale ale and copiously dry hop it with Simcoe, a hop variety known for passion fruit, pine, berry and earth characteristics.
Cafe Ole Espresso Porter - Roasted barley and flaked oats combine to form a rich, robust flavor, complimented by the addition of locally roasted espresso (from Argyle Coffee Roasters) and a touch of vanilla.
Honey Vanilla Wheat - Smooth and silky are the best ways to describe this seasonal beer. A special mash process is used to create a fuller body with a smooth mouthfeel. Real vanilla beans are added at the end of fermentation to balance out the sweetness of the honey. We only use the freshest Florida honey in this beer brewed to enjoy in the Florida sunshine.
Isle of MaGourdo - Isle of MaGourdo is a pumpkin ale brewed specially for the fall season. Years ago our Brewmaster Mike went tuna fishing in Islamorada with Bo, Bryan and a great man named Martin. This beer is brewed each year the same time as that trip. For Martin – we miss you buddy.

Upcoming Beers

You can expect the following beers in the coming months.

Doppelbock - A recent entry into the Due South portfolio, this sweet dark lager is poised to be released around our Oktoberfest celebrations.
What the Hef? - This is a German style wheat beer called a Hefeweizen that is completely unfiltered leaving a hazy straw color. Flavor and aroma notes of banana, bubble gum and clove round out this Bavarian favorite. It will be coming out Thursday September 29 in cans and on draft to help kick off our Oktoberfest.

Have you had our Craft American Lager lately? This bright beer is cold conditioned for weeks and the result is a clean, crisp taste designed to stand up to the heat of the Sunshine State. See what else is on tap in the taproom.
