Oval Frame is our tribute to the golden heart of Oktoberfest—a Helles Festbier brewed in the spirit of Munich’s most beloved celebration. Crisp, smooth, and slightly stronger than your everyday Helles, this pale lager is crafted for long tables, lively conversations, and the joyful hum of an oom-pah band in the background. This is the style nearly 90% of Oktoberfest goers in Munich drink—a beer designed for celebration without compromise. Close your eyes, take a sip, and you might just hear the clink of steins and a chorus of “Prost!” Named after the Old Schwamb Mill in Arlington, MA—famous for producing wooden oval frames—Oval Frame was originally commissioned by the mill for their 2023 Oktoberfest celebration. Now it lives on as a seasonal favorite, framing the fest season with flavor, tradition, and a touch of local history.
