Spaten Oktoberfest "Ur-Märzen"

Top 10 Fall Beers

IMPORT BREW
Spaten Oktoberfest "Ur-Märzen"

Among Bavaria’s famed breweries, Spaten takes special pride in their Oktoberfest beer, since they were the first to brew this seasonal style back in 1873. Modeled on Vienna’s popular amber beers, it was stronger and maltier than standard lager — a perfect choice for a fall beer that had to be brewed in spring and survive the warm summer months. An instant sensation from the start, Spaten’s Oktoberfest remains a classic example of the style it inspired. Brassy in color, it offers aromas of multi-grain toast topped with butter and honey. Crisply quenching, its hop bitterness is subdued, making for a supremely friendly style for Indian summer sipping.

Price: $1.50 (12 oz.)
