Sierra Nevada Launches Oktoberfest Video Game

Sierra Nevada Brewing released a secret throwback game on their website to promote the release of their new Oktoberfest beer, which is a collaboration with German brewery Brauhaus Riegele from Augsburg. Much like the father-son leadership of Ken and Brian Grossman at Sierra Nevada, Riegele is also owned by father-son team Dr. Sebastian and Sebastian (Jr.) Priller-Riegele.

The game’s goal: help Kenny the Braumeister collect water, hops, barley and yeast so he can brew enough Oktoberfest beer to go around.

There are two ways to unlock the game:

1) Click around the top navigation area until Kenny appears – then click on Kenny and get to brewing.


2) In the website footer, find the yellow ribbon that says “Locate Beers.” Type in"Prost" and hit enter.Using the keyboard arrows, help Kenny collect all of the ingredients to make his beer. In the spirit of friendly competition, players can share their final score on Facebook and Twitter.

The collaborative seasonal release is available in 6-packs and 16oz draft Nationwide.
