Hacker-Pschorr | Oktoberfest Marzen | Lager

Oktoberfest beer is very special. Only 6 Munich breweries are allowed to serve beer at Oktoberfest - and Hacker-Pschorr is one of them. Every year, the brewmasters from the 6 traditional Munich breweries strive to create an exceptional beer for Oktoberfest visitors.

The Oktoberfest beer has always been considered an exceptional brew. The balanced flavour with malt aroma and tangy, bitter notes give it a distinctive taste. The beer is required to have at least 13.5% original gravity, which gives it a 5.7% alcohol by volume.

Very smoothly drinkable, the famous Märzen is an homage to the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516.

Forbidden as it was to brew in summer, a stronger beer – the Märzen – was brewed earlier in March. It would finally be served at the Oktoberfest, under the “Heaven of Bavaria”. We have returned once again to the age-old recipe and recreated that gloriously smooth, honey-coloured piece of history from times gone by. And all is brewed with due reverence to the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516.
