"We can all agree that there is no better pairing than pretzels and beer, especially during Oktoberfest," Marcel Nahm, Auntie Anne's vice president of marketing, said in a statement. "And since this historic celebration was canceled in Germany and so many Oktoberfest celebrations are being held virtually in the states, we knew we needed to step in and offer a fun way for snackers and drinkers to still create an authentic experience at home."
