Under the Chestnut Tree
5% ABV 440ml
Festbier is nowadays the most consumed beer at the
annual Oktoberfest in Munich, Bavaria. While there are
numerous breweries making their version of it, only
six of the breweries are able to pour their beer at the
actual Festival.
This beer is our interpretation of the smooth Bavarian
Nectar. Expect a clean and well-balanced deep gold
Lager with a bready, malty richness and light floral
noble hop characters.
Originated from the slightly stronger and darker
Märzen beer, which translates to March, the month in
which this beer traditionally used to be brewed. Due
to the increased chance of spoilage, it was forbidden
to brew in the summer, so the beer was brewed early
and matured in cellars until Oktoberfest began. To
keep these cellars cool, chestnut trees were planted
above them. Their large leaves provided shade and
thanks to their shallow growing roots the cellars
remained undamaged.
This created the typical beer garden ambience, in
which we all love to drink a few cold ones underneath
the chestnut trees. Prosit! Clink your glasses and don’t
forget to look each other in the eyes!
