Today, I wanted to talk about one of my favorite seasonal beers – Samuel Adams Octoberfest… This beer is talked about more often than any other seasonal beer we have in house; retailers & customers are asking for it in July! Samuel Adams Octoberfest is one of the largest seasonal beer offerings in the world and the largest Oktoberfest beer in the world. Samuel Adams Octoberfest has a 30% share of the fall seasonal segment and satisfies 74% of seasonal drinkers – significantly more than any other fall seasonal brand.
