With Oktoberfest just around the corner, Burger King Germany is introducing a host of new beer-centric menu items. Going beyond the typical beer batter, the chain has managed to incorporate beer into a wide variety of ingredients.
Burger King Germany's Oktoberfest menu includes the new Beer BBQ Steakhouse burger, the Onion BBQ Whopper and a side of beer-battered X-TRA Onion Rings. The new Beer BBQ Steakhouse features traditional burger toppings as well as a spicy beer BBQ sauce and a beer-infused bun. The Onion BBQ Whopper also features a boozy twist with the addition of the same spicy beer BBQ sauce and a layer of the X-TRA Onion Rings.
For those looking for a drink to accompany the boozy new menu, neighboring Burger King Austria is offering Almdudler soda alongside the beer-infused entrees.
