Working with our incredible partners at R&K Distributors and Biergarten Bosses Travis Hull and Kate Yglesias, our #REELeasttexas brewmeister team has cultivated an awesome menu for Kilgore Main Street’s 2023 Kilgore Oktoberfest set for 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 14.

Saint Arnold Oktoberfest

Full bodied, malty, slightly sweet beer celebrating the Autumn harvest. This rich beer has a round malt flavor and above average alcohol content perfect for a cool fall evening.

Firestone Walker Oaktoberfest

Oaktoberfest is our oak-inspired homage to the great German tradition of Oktoberfest. We go the extra mile of maturing this beer in French oak barrels to create an amazingly smooth mouthfeel. The result is a classic German Fest Bier with a hint of West Coast hoppiness. Grab your stein, don your lederhosen and enjoy!

Karbach Crawford Bock

What’s even easier than jacking a dinger into the Crawford Boxes? How about cracking open a delicious Crawford Bock? Karbach Crawford Bock is so smooth you can easily stretch that single into a double. Pairs perfectly with peanuts, stadium dogs, and a good 7th inning stretch!

Goose Island Wild Herd Kolsch

This beer is a German style Kolsch which is more similar to a lager, it’s actually a hybrid beer so has qualities of both an ale and a lager. What this means is Kolsch beers are light, refreshing, slightly citrusy, not too hoppy or bitter vs. many other craft styles.
