This collection of unusual beers will inspire people to try something new and exciting not only in honor of Oktoberfest, but also for the Great American Beer Festival that is currently taking place in Denver. Perhaps someone will walk away with a new favorite flavor or brand all together. Whatever the case may be, these unusual beers are a fun way to entice new customers.
From a classic mint chocolate flavoring to a brand inspired by 'Lord of the Rings,' this collection of unusual beers ranges quite a bit. Although many of the alcoholic creations are made as special editions, some are returning favorites that put the 'unusual' in 'unusual beers' to test. After awhile, something as delicious as dessert beers simply becomes a staple.
