Leinenkugel’s

The Leinenkugel family brewery was founded in Chippewa Falls, WI, in May 1867 by Jacob Leinenkugel. A family man driven by an iron work ethic, Jacob knew that his family heritage would play an integral part of his brewery’s success. Today, the fifth generation of Leinenkugel’s® continue to brew the same family inspired recipes that Jacob poured his heart and soul into. Over the years, the family has grown and so has the brewery, but its history and heritage remain at the forefront.

Leinenkugel’s Big Eddy Uber-Oktoberfest

ABV: 8.5%
Category: Craft
Seasonal Availability: August-October

“O’zapft is!” It is tapped, indeed. Oktoberfest, arguably the greatest festival in the world and the beer that bears its name, was born from a Bavarian royal wedding celebration. We’re paying homage to that celebration with a bolder, toastier take on an Oktoberfestbier that can only be described as “Über.” With a tawny orange hue, toasted malts and spicy hops, our Big Eddy Über-Oktoberfest is then dry-hopped for added hop complexity.

It’s our take on a German classic that’s perfect for winding down and relaxing.
