This is Zak Davis from Shmaltz Brewing Company, the makers of the Coney Island Craft Lagers. Just wanted to stop in and say thanks so much for the writeup on the Freaktoberfest. Even though some of the beer rating website list it as an Oktoberfest, it's actually not an Oktoberfest style at all (as you guys noticed). Since most of our beers hybridize multiple styles, their usually miscategorized on those websites. This year, we brewed the beer with an Oktoberfest-style malt bill, but an IPA-style hop bill, which accounts for the exaggerated hop presence. Because we release this beer more for the Halloween season than for Oktoberfest, we've found an organic zombie farmer in Northern California that supplies us with the zombie blood to achieve the demonic color. It's easy for the color to throw off people's mental perception of the taste, but once you get past that quality, we think that Freaktoberfest is a deliciously drinkable brew. Thanks again for the support and hope you all have a happy and healthy new year. ~Zak Hi guys. This is Zak Davis from Shmaltz Brewing Company, the makers of the Coney Island Craft Lagers.
