Beer and Breweries
Check out all the local breweries whose world class beer you can sample at Shore Craft Beer Fest. As the participating breweries decide on their beers, we'll post it here. Stay tuned, or get updates by subscribing to our newsletter.
OCtoberfest's featured beer is Strawberry Fields Wheat. This beer won the most votes in the B.I.E.R. contest at Brews on the Beach earlier this year. Fin City are brewing this new beer especially for OCtoberfest. Make sure you try it!
Jack'D Belgian Pumpkin - a fall seasonal, this Belgian style pumpkin ale is brewed with American 2-row and lots of specialty malts. We added pumpkin puree, fresh ground cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Mildly hopped with Cluster and Tettnanger hops. Beautiful amber color and a wonderful mouth-feel make this a fall favorite.
SandStorm Belgian Tripel - Our take on a classic Belgian Tripel. Smooth and creamy with a hazy light golden color. Hints of banana and clove from the yeast along with the spicy/woodsy hop flavors prevail up front, giving way to a subdued sweetness in the finish. Brewed with Pilsner malt and hopped with Chinook, Perle and Hallertau Mittlefrueh.

Strawberry Fields Wheat - The B.I.E.R winner from Brews on the Beach, especially brewed for this Craft Beer Festival.
Bad Luck Banana Porter - This robust porter is a malt bomb that makes other porters blush. We mash seven types of dark, caramel, chocolaty malts with fresh bananas to provide a smooth backbone to this winter treat, and balance it with a fair amount of English hops to round it out and add depth.
Double Huk Double IPA - Our most aggressively hopped beer is crammed full of Centennial hops for a bright citrus delight. This deep golden ale is finished with dry additions of fresh earthy hops over the course of many days to leave you with a richness and complexity you won't find in any other 2xIPA...
Back Fin Blue Crab Stout - We have brewed the first known stout using live blue crabs in the boil to create one of the most unique beers in the world. Just like bakers use salt to bring out the sweetness in their desserts, the crabs and spice cause the toffee and chocolate notes to come to life in this beautiful stout.
