Each August, the weather starts to cool, the leaves start to change color, and the bulls begin to bugle.  In Elk Country, we know that the Rut is right around the corner.  A little farther north in St. Marys, to the Straub Brewery family, this means that their popular craft beer, Oktoberfest, is starting production.  This deep amber, rich and malty, Marzen-style Lager is a special edition craft that is only available in the Fall during a limited run. 

Straub is partnering with KECA to help create a custom label that will appear on all of their canned Oktoberfest bier featuring none other than our majestic Pennsylvania elk.  We will be opening up this contest to all Elk Country photographers to have one of their photos  This label contest fundraiser will benefit the Keystone Elk Country Alliance and Pennsylvania’s Elk Country in conjunction with a portion of the sales of Oktoberfest bier as well.  KECA is extremely proud to be working with Straub.

And we thank you for continuing to support KECA in our mission to conserve and enhance Pennsylvania’s Elk Country for future generations. 

Winning Photographer will win a KECA & Straub Prize Pack including gear, gift certificates and more! Image will be featured on all can labels of the limited edition Straub Oktoberfest bier during the 2023 production season.
