For October, the theme is literally seasonal. Here are three Oktoberfest beers from Germany that I think should be in your ‘fridge instead of pumpkin beers. So forget the light, medium and dark descriptors.
~LIGHT
Ayinger / Oktober Fest Märzen 5.8% ABV
“…a deep golden color tinted with amber. It is lightly sweet with a malty nose balanced with floral hops. Its medium to big body and alcohol is not overpowering. The soft dryness comes from long maturation.”
~MEDIUM
Hacker-Pschorr / Oktober Fest Märzen 5.8% ABV
“Bavarian barley slow roasted, caramelized to a rich, red amber color combined with the purest spring waters from the Alps, exclusive yeast and the finest Hallertau hops.”
~DARK
Weihenstephaner / Oktoberfestbier 5.8% ABV
“A full rich bodied, hoppy, seasonal lager. Especially brewed for the Festbier season. This beer truly represents the Bavarian way of celebrating. Deep gold color, great mouthfeel and lots of flavor. Prost!”
