Oktoberfest Festbier 2026

The SN Oktoberfest collaboration has come to be one of the more anticipated beers of the season for me. They've been producing some really excellent beers in the series and this is no exception. The color with its classic copper, bright clarity,...

Schönramer Gold

I have absolutely no idea what's going on with this beer. To me it feels like a confusing mix of styles, but in the end none of that took away from the enjoyment, it really is very tasty. Apparently a Festbier, it has elements of German pilsner, a...

Schönramer Festbier

Mid-golden pour, perfect clarity, fluffy white head with some nice, sticky lace. All as expected for the style. Great, complex malt nose that promises depth. It's quite sweet up front but perhaps paradoxically very clean. No muddiness here. As we...

Oktoberfest Festbier (2025)

Oktoberfest Festbier (2025)

A annual pleasure, always something to look forward to. This is a pretty beer. A lovely, light golden color with a fine, white head to match. Well-carbonated. The color is interesting since it falls between the deeper orange like hues of...

Oktoberfest Festbier (2024)

Oktoberfest Festbier (2024)

An annual pleasure when Sierra gets together and collaborates with a German brewer. Standard Festbier pour (which seems to be the norm with these collabs rather than the US, Oktoberfest style). Retention isn't great. Light, soapy bitterness greets...

Kloster Andechs Festbier

Kloster Andechs Festbier

I'm not at all sure that this beer has been in the US before 2023. This is backed up by the fact that it was only added to the beeradvocate database in August of this year. L1433. If it has been here prior, then the distribution must have been very...

Oktoberfest Festbier (2023)

Oktoberfest Festbier (2023)

I love to come across a new Oktoberfest or Festbier or Märzen, and when there is the promise of some sensible Sierra Nevada old-school, no nonsense brewing associated with, it it all bodes well. The Sierra series of collaborations for these beers...

Weihenstephaner Festbier

Weihenstephaner Festbier

12 oz single from Total Wine, Perimeter, Atlanta, GA, USA. Poured into the Tücher Weizen glass (not pictured, rather the picture shown is from 08/15/21) , the color is alarmingly light for the style, IF we were talking a Märzen (we're not, BTW!)....
