Oktoberfest

The portable Brewery Bar will be serving Lompoc Oktoberfest, a pale orange lager with a clean malt flavor balanced by a touch of Perle hops. A portion of the grain used was roasted in the oven at the 5Q, giving a slight biscuit flavor. We’ll also serve up Jolly Bock, an amber lager brewed with a generous amount of Munich malt for a rich malt flavor balanced with a spicy hop bitterness. The Brewery Bar is cash only, $4.50 a pint ($3.50 Happy Hour from 4 to 6 pm).

The 5Q and Sidebar will both be open as well. Sidebar will serve Oktoberfest; Fleming Red, a blend of Lompoc Wheat Wine, Stout Out Loud, Proletariat Red, and a red ale aged in Heaven Hill Bourbon barrels for 10 months; Red Raisin, our Proletariat Red aged for 3 years in Heaven Hill Bourbon barrels with 35 pounds of sour cherries; Roar of ’84 IPA, named for the Detroit Tigers most spectacular season – it’s dark blonde in color and strikingly bitter, with an herbal, hoppy aroma and finish; Stout Out Loud, a mix between two styles, a Dry Irish Stout and an Oatmeal Stout.  It has a pitch black color with slight hints of coffee, chocolate, and roast flavors with a creamy mouth feel; and Kick Axe Dry Hopped Pale Ale.

Today at Sidebar, we’ve still got a couple sours on tap. Try our Fleming Red; The Commons Berliner Weisse, a traditional European inspired Berliner Weisse; and Flamingo, our Kick Axe fermented in Cabernet Franc barrels with 35 pounds of sour cherries. We’re also serving up Roar of ’84 IPA, Kick Axe and Alameda O.A.G. Lager, a quintessential dry, clean and crisp German Pilsner.
