GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.,
Sept. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/
-- This season, Red Robin fans will raise their steins in
approval with the return of a fall favorite — the Oktoberfest Burger! Now through
Nov. 10, guests can enjoy the
craveable Oktoberfest Burger, a
fire-grilled burger topped with Black
Forest ham, Swiss cheese, tangy beer-mustard sauteed onions
and crisp lettuce on a perfectly toasted pretzel bun. Red
Robin's take on classic Oktoberfest
flavors will make guests want to put on their Lederhosen in
celebration.

Red Robin is also remixing a classic American dessert in a new
milkshake that captures the flavors of fall and brings the warmth
and comfort of pumpkin pie to every table — with a Red Robin
twist. The Spiced Pumpkin Pie Shake, made with real
Libby's® pumpkin pie filling, vanilla soft serve, nutmeg
and graham cracker crumbs, pairs perfectly with Red Robin's
Oktoberfest-inspired menu.
Also back by uber-popular demand, Red Robin's O'Fest Beer Shake
will once again be on tap after making its debut last fall.
This unique, 21-and-over milkshake is made with creamy vanilla soft
serve blended with caramel and Sam
Adams® OctoberFest draft. With the new
Brew-Battered Brats, the Gourmet Burger Authority has also crafted
the perfect appetizer to pair with any meal. Deliciously
juicy with a hint of heat, these five beefy jalapeno-cheddar brats
— beer battered and fried to the perfect crunch — are served on a
bed of freshly made Yukon kettle
chips.
"This season, we're bringing back a guest favorite, the
Oktoberfest Burger, and adding a
delicious new appetizer, Brew-Battered Brats," said Denny Marie Post, Red Robin's senior vice
president and chief menu & marketing officer. "Rounding
out the seasonal line-up is our O'Fest Beer Shake which was a huge
hit last year. We hope guests will pair it with the
Oktoberfest Burger and our new brats
at Red Robin this fall."
The Gourmet Burger Authority has crafted other new seasonal
offerings, including:
- Captain's Berry Angry Cocktail – This twist on hard
apple cider is a delicious mix of Captain Morgan® Spiced
Rum, Angry Orchard® Crisp Apple Cider, a touch of
raspberry and a sprinkle of nutmeg.
- German Chocolate Brownie Bite-Tini – This new dessert is
a decadent combination of rich, chocolate brownie bites and light,
fluffy whipped cream, topped with a garnish of toasted
coconut. Now that's YUMMM-y!
Reminiscent of the seasonal flavors of Oktoberfest, Warm Pretzel Bites —soft pretzel
bites served with Merkts® beer cheese — are available
throughout the season to round out Red Robin's Oktoberfest celebration.
