The steins have arrived. Oktoberfest season is officially here.

And naturally, the first pour had to be Farmer’s Daughter, our traditional Märzen Lager.

A little “From the Brewhouse” with Guy:
Märzen literally means “March” in German. Traditionally, these beers were brewed in March, lagered cool through the summer, then tapped in late summer just in time for festival season.

The result? A beautiful amber lager with rich malt character, a crisp, dry finish and just enough herbal character from traditional German noble hops.
And here’s your Oktoberfest beer lesson for the day:
Märzen ≠ Festbier.

Both can be called “Oktoberfest” beers, but they’re actually two different styles. 

Märzen is darker, maltier and richer. Festbier, which became a Munich Oktoberfest staple in more recent decades, is lighter in color and body with less pronounced malt character.

So when you’re navigating Oktoberfest beers this season, now you know what’s in your stein.
Or better yet, come taste the difference yourself.

Prost!
