While many brands are leaning into sweet, pumpkin-flavored fall offerings, Burgerville's new Oktoberfest Cheeseburger is a savory standout. The new German-themed burger consists of a patty made from [Local Country Natural Beef](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-hive-honey) and [Jacobsen Salt Co.](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oktoberfest-burger) Bratwurst seasoning. The beefy burger patty is then layered with Tillamook Swiss cheese, NW Gourmet garlic aioli, and roasted cabbage. Naturally, the whole thing is served with whole-grain mustard on a soft pretzel bun to complete the German theme. The new Oktoberfest Cheeseburger will officially be available from participating Burgerville locations for a limited time from September 3 to October 14, 2024.
