Free State Märzen Free State Brewing Company Lawrence, Kansas
Beer style: Märzen / Oktoberfest Bier Ref: ratebeer.com May2024
Common descriptors are Märzen (mairtsen) is German for March. In the days before refrigeration, this would have been the last beer brewed in Germany until cooler weather returned in the Fall. Then, in late September any remaining Märzen beer would have been served at the Oktoberfest celebration in Munich. We don’t expect ours to last that long, but we did brew it to be very similar to our Octoberfest beer with pale malt, lots of Munich malt, carapils and caramunich malts. This beer is lightly hopped Tettnanger hops, to leave a rich malty flavor
