FestiBrÜ

The official bier of Oktoberfest! A golden, malty German-style lager, this traditional ‘Festbier’ is ready to celebrate any occasion. Festbiers were introduced in the 1970s at the Munich Oktoberfest and quickly became popular for being lighter and less filling than Marzen-styles and darker beers. It remains a staple at Oktoberfest and has even become an official style of beer. Our FestiBrü is perfectly balanced with German noble hops and has delicious biscuity, sweet, lightly toasted malt character. Prost!
