Custom Kool Haus brew for this year’s Oktoberfest in Kitchener (2017)

(News Release)

 

 KITCHENER, Ont. — The grandest Bavarian festival outside of Munich deserves a special brew to call its own.

Bingemans and Waterloo Brewing are proud to present a custom Munich-style beer brewed especially for Kool Haus and the 2017 festing season.

Waterloo Festbier is crafted in the traditional Bavarian Marzenbier style with a rich toastiness and dark copper colour that will knock your knee-high socks off.

“We’re gearing up for the greatest, most versatile Oktoberfest Kool Haus yet,” says Mark Bingeman, President of Bingemans.

“Along with the Waterloo Festbier, patrons will also get a taste of Hacker-Pschorr and Paulaner, two authentic German brews produced by Waterloo Brewing.”

Beer lovers can get a special preview of the Waterloo Festbier at Boston Pizza/Kingpin Bowlounge and Taste at the Tannery.


 As a special offering to the greater Waterloo Region, special arrangements have been made to have the Waterloo Festbier available at local LCBO stores for a limited seasonal offering.

Bingemans is also giving festival-goers a chance to pick two local craft beers that will be poured at the Kool Haus festhalle. Visitors to bingemans.com/Oktoberfest can vote for their two favourite craft beers from a vast selection of local brews. The two with the highest votes will be featured at this year’s Bingemans Oktoberfest festivities.

“Waterloo has a long and proud tradition of crafting exceptional local, small batch beers,” says Bingeman. “We are proud supporters of local breweries, and are excited to have Waterloo Brewing as part of the Kool Haus festhalle.”
