What is Oktoberfest beer?

Traditionally brewed in March and lagered until autumn, Oktoberfest beers (or Märzen) are smooth, amber-hued lagers with a rich, malty flavour and a crisp finish. Only six breweries in Munich produce the official Oktoberfest beers, but many other breweries craft their own versions to celebrate the season.

While we’re not stocking those exact brews right now, you can still enjoy German style beers that hit all the right notes — cold, flavourful, and ready to pour from your favourite Beerwulf keg or Oktoberfest beer barrel.
