Spaten Oktoberfest Limited Edition German Beer Set (12)

Product Information

Green Bench Co-Founder and Head Brewer Khris Johnson uses a traditional double decoction process and natural carbonation to truly mimic an authentic German-inspired interpretation of this celebratory harvest beer. According to Oliver, Oktoberfest beer sales are higher and more sustained than pumpkin or other fall seasonals, and they’re somewhat insulated from trends in craft beer. It’s a common refrain when speaking with American brewers. At Shiner, Oktoberfest leads seasonal beers sold on draft, and Sam Adams Octoberfest is the brewery’s best-selling fall seasonal. In a joint declaration, Bavaria’s Minister-President Markus Söder and Munich’s Lord Mayor Dieter Reiter decided: The risk for the people is too high to let the Wiesn 2020 take place. “It is about the biggest and most beautiful festival in the world”, said Söder, “We are living in different times. And living with Corona means living carefully. The greatest sensitivity applies to celebrations.” The Pils was the first to be produced in Munich and has >11.7° Plato wort and 5.0% of alcohol by volume. When you taste Spaten Premium Lager, you’ll notice that its overall flavor is a blend of bitterness, bready notes, and grainy elements. The beer’s aroma presents a subtle yet enticing combination of floral and malty scents, making it pleasant to smell before taking your first sip. Its color is a classic gold hue, which adds to the beer’s traditional look, making it perfect for any occasion where you want to enjoy a premium lager.

Oh, and did we mention the royal family provided beer and food free of charge? So much fun was had by all that the festival became a yearly celebration.

Pouring a burning gold, Athletic’s Oktoberfest hit us first with some really nice floralness on the nose from the Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops.

Märzen— Pouring a beautiful sunset amber, Schlafly’s Oktoberfest doesn’t stray far from tradition. On the brewing side, you’ll find pale, caramel, Munich, and aromatic malts paired with Tettnang, Mittelfrüh, and Marynka hops. In principle, no. Entry into the beer tents is free. A quarter of the places in the big tents are not reservable at all. At the weekend and on the public holiday half the seats cannot be reserved until 3 pm, after that 35% are not reservable. The Käfer Wiesn-Schänke and Kuffler’s Weinzelt (wine tent) are excluded from this rule – and the small tents . Reservations can only be made for the interior of the tents, not for the beer gardens. Where can I reserve a table in a tent?

By 1911, Anton and Carl Sedlmayr’s sons, Heinrich and Fritz, became the owners of Spaten Brewery. Under their leadership, the brewery continued to thrive. In 1950, Spaten resumed exporting to Europe and other international markets after a period of reduced overseas trade. In 1964, the brewery introduced a new Weissbier at the Munich Oktoberfest – the Champagner Weiße – further diversifying its product line. Today, Hofbräu isn’t specifically known for its Weißbier, although the history of Weißbier in Bavaria is closely tied to the Hofbräuhaus. The production of this beer style, which originates in Bohemia, was prohibited in Bavaria after the purity law of 1516, as wheat was exclusively reserved to be used for making bread. Only two noble families from Lower Bavaria kept the right to brew Weißbier. Duke Maximilian, I transformed the ban into a profitable state monopoly and recruited the first Weißbier master for the Hofbräuhaus in 1602. At first, both brown and white beer were produced in the brewery of Alter Hof, but only five years later, the production of the popular Weißbier moved into the new “Weißes Hofbräuhaus” (White Court Brewery) at Platzl. The old brown brewery merged with the white one in 1808.

Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest Festbier. Recently, Sierra Nevada has been pairing with a classic German Brewery each year to bring us a new Oktoberfest collaboration. Unlike a lot of the American Oktoberfest beers which tend to be overly sweet, the Sierra Nevada collaborations are very true to the German originals. Despite being called Oktoberfest the iconic beer festival actually runs from Saturday 17th September to Monday 3rd October in 2022 . It normally runs for 16 days with the last day being the first Sunday in October. A brief history of OktoberfestMärzen— We love how breweries known for other styles put an equal emphasis and care on nailing these German-style Märzens. Unfortunately, the largest beer festival in the world cannot take place in Germany in 2020 due to the spread of Covid-19.
