The first entry, a beer cheese pretzel bratwurst, boasts caramelized onions, grilled sauerkraut, and other goodies, while the burrito has beer cheese sausage as well as several hearty ingredients.
A dollar from each Oktoberfest brat and burrito sold will be donated to No Kid Hungry.
The founded-in-Pasadena company is recommending pairing your brat with brews from either Paulaner — there's an Oktoberfestbier on the seasonal line-up — or Jägermeister.
