Interesting Facts:
OctoberFest is Samuel Adams’ interpretation of the traditional Märzen lager. Historically, Märzen beers were brewed in Bavaria during March and stored in cool conditions through the summer, making them ready to enjoy during the fall festival season. The style emphasizes toasted, bready malt flavors rather than aggressive hop bitterness.
