OLIVER’S OKTOBERFEST (5.7%)
German-style Märzen

Oliver’s Oktoberfest is an amber Märzen-style lager brewed with 100% German malts, hops, and yeast! A five-step mash complete with a decoction, results in a beer that drinks super clean with low bitterness and classic notes of toasted cracker and caramel maltiness. It’s just so good.

For the first time, Oliver’s Oktoberfest is available in cans. Today couldn’t possibly get any better....Oh, but it can! If you visit us in the taproom, Oliver’s is also available in the now-famous Lua Boot. 😮

Celebrate the beginning of the best season of them with us. We’re open today 11am to 11pm 💛

🍋‍🟩☃️Find Your Frost at Lua ☃️🍋‍🟩

Craft beer was wrong.

For decades, they’ve told you frosted mugs were bad. Breweries warmed their “coolers” to 45*F so draft beer could open up and “breathe.” They told you that you needed to suffer through warm swill and smile because “more flavor.” Tasting notes and flared pinkies galore.

F that pretentiousness. Seriously. Ice cold beer is so, so great. So we dropped our coolers, found the thickest, fattest mugs we could, and are frosting them icier than 90s spiked tips. Yea, the Limest gets slightly slushified when it’s poured into them. That’s the point.

Come drink the coldest Limest we can pour. It’s better that way.

And tell your buddies: it’s OK to drink beer out of a frosted mug. In fact, it’s the best.

Ice cold Limest (affectionately known here at Lua as a Limenstein 💚) available NOW, forever.

Tag a frosty friend you’d love to share one with 🍻.

NATIONAL HAZY IPA DAY

Hazy IPA rips and today is the day to celebrate. In 2023, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. established the third Thursday of August to be National Hazy IPA Day. Eat your heart out National IPA Day, it’s all about the foggy hop juice that has taken the beer world by storm.

We here at Lua love Hazy IPAs AKA Hazer Lazers™. We’ve been on it since day one. You can always expect our hazies to have big fruity aromatics, a pillowy body, and a bit of silky sweetness that’ll have you asking “Are you sure this isn’t juice?”.

Come down and see us for a hazy or two today. We’re open 11am-10pm. Protip: Tiny Beam of Light pairs excellently with the Sweet Chili Chicken Bites. Let’s celebrate 💛
