October may be a week away, but the world’s largest beer festival, Oktoberfest, is being held in Munich, Germany. Celebrated by beer enthusiasts across the globe, the 16-day festival is synonymous with delicious food, and even better beer. While traditional Bavarian brews dominate Oktoberfest, there is a growing trend of mixologists experimenting with their favourite lagers and pilsners (to name a few) to craft innovative cocktails. From switching up classics to creating soothing concoctions, bartenders are using a variety of ingredients for their sophisticated offerings. Whether you are a purist who scoffs at the idea, or a seasoned patron open to experimentation, mixologists across India have shared simple cocktail recipes with beer to elevate your Oktoberfest experience at home.
