Incredibly clean and balanced, this lager has a wonderful malty backbone and a hint of earthy hops.Oktoberfest beer comes from the Marzen style. These beers were bigger, richer beers brewed in March and stored in caves during the hot months of summer. In the fall, they were enjoyed at the Oktoberfest celebration.

Oktoberfest beer is traditionally a Marzen style Lager; here at Fisherman’s we put our own spin on this traditional style. Incorporating a triple decoction or step mash into the mashing process giving this beer a wonderfully smooth mouth feel; as well as using 10lb’s of heather tips and flowers in the boil adding nice herbal and floral notes to our Oktoberfest offering.

Our Oktoberfest is a traditional Bavarian Märzen with a toasty malt aroma and slight caramel taste. This rich, amber lager is balanced by the use of German noble hops, while the lager yeast ferments cold and slow, creating a smooth, crisp beer.

Strength (ABV): 
5.0% ABV

German Märzen beer - hearty, amber-colored, malty, and finely balanced lager that is refreshing and filling all at once - was the original staple of Oktoberfest celebrations. The Monk's Fest comes to us from the beautiful monastery at Weissenohe, in the green wooded hills of Franconia, northern Bavaria. This rare, traditional, and very tasty 'liquid bread', is as close as you can get to the real thing.

Lowenbrau Oktoberfest

Product - Lowenbrau Oktoberfest
Brewed By: 
Löwenbräu
Self-Defined Style: 
Oktoberfest Marzen
Strength (ABV): 
6.0% ABV

In general the style is characterized by a medium body and broad range of color. Oktoberfests can range from golden to reddish brown. Sweet maltiness should dominate over a clean, hop bitterness. The bitterness should not be aggressive or harsh. Malt character should be light-toasted rather than strongly caramel (though a low level of light caramel character is acceptable). Bread or biscuit like malt character is acceptable in aroma and flavor. Hop aroma and flavor should be notable but at low to medium levels. Fruity esters should not be perceived.

Best With: 
The straightforward carmelized malt and hop balance in amber lagers enable them to pair with a wide variety of food items, particularly grilled or braised poultry, sausages, and pizza.

Self-Defined Style: 
Rye Lager
Strength (ABV): 
6.2% ABV

Hoss is based on the Marzen lagers of Germany. Rich, layered malt notes, with hints of cherry and dark fruits, dominate, while the unique addition of rye imparts a slightly earthy, spicy character. Hoss finishes crisp crisp and dry, and its brilliant red-orange color is a toast to the sunsets that make the perfect backdrop for this beer.
