August unofficially starts the Oktoberfest beer season, even though the actual festival doesn\u2019t happen until September, as these seasonal favorites start reaching retail shelves. I live in North Georgia, and we have the distinction of having one of the longest running Oktoberfest celebrations in the U.S. in nearby Helen, GA. Helen was a sleepy little mountain town until 1969 when some of the local businessmen and a local artist decided to turn it into a replica of a Bavarian village. A lot of people scoff at it as nothing but a tourist trap, but it has become Georgia\u2019s third most visited city. Personally, I think it\u2019s fun and the best way to experience Oktoberfest without leaving the country. What is it about Oktoberfest that makes it many beer enthusiasts their favorite time of year for beer? Simply put some of the most drinkable, enjoyable beers are made for this time of year. In the United States, the delectable amber M\u00e4rzen style beer has become the most popular beer consumed for Oktoberfest celebrations around the country.  You can get versions imported directly from Germany, domestic ones made by some of the best craft breweries in the country or very fresh versions on tap at your local craft beer brewery. In the Southeastern U.S., it is still quite hot in late August well into September. As the weather starts to moderate, we get some spectacular days that are great for sitting out in a beer garden or cooking out at your tailgate party drinking a tasty beer and socializing with friends and family. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4901\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/2020-alpine-brew-deck-helen-v-02\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2020-alpine-brew-deck-helen-v.02.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"3789,2526\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XS&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1603372586&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;18&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.005&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"2020 Alpine Brew Deck Helen v.02\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2020-alpine-brew-deck-helen-v.02.jpg?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2020-alpine-brew-deck-helen-v.02.jpg?w=723\" src=\"https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2020-alpine-brew-deck-helen-v.02.jpg?w=723\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4901\" width=\"362\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2020-alpine-brew-deck-helen-v.02.jpg?w=362 362w, https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2020-alpine-brew-deck-helen-v.02.jpg?w=724 724w, https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2020-alpine-brew-deck-helen-v.02.jpg?w=150 150w, https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2020-alpine-brew-deck-helen-v.02.jpg?w=300 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 362px) 100vw, 362px\"\/><figcaption>Alpine Brew Deck Helen, GA  Photo: Let Us Drink Beer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Oktoberfest beer can be quite confusing. It\u2019s easy for American\u2019s to assume that beer served in Munich for the real Oktoberfest celebration is a malty, amber colored version know as M\u00e4rzen we see so prevalent here. Even versions imported from Germany are the amber M\u00e4rzen. However, you\u2019ll run across versions like Weihenstephaner Festbier or Hofbrau Oktoberfest that are a more of golden color, similar to a Helles with a higher alcohol content. To help clear things up, I contacted U.K. based beer writer Mark Dredge. Dredge  is a veteran of Oktoberfest celebrations in Munich and recently published the book <strong>A Brief History of Lager<\/strong>. What follows is some of the finer points of what Mark explained to me.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing to understand about Oktoberfest beer is that it was really more about the time of year the beer was brewed than any particular style. That\u2019s where the descriptor M\u00e4rzen or March beer comes from. It was beer brewed in March. Lagered (cold stored) from April until it was tapped in September for Oktoberfest. The original Oktoberfest beer was actually a dark beer or Dunkel. Then Josef Sedlmayr introduced a \u201clighter\u201d colored beer n the 1870\u2019s, which was the amber colored beer we are more familiar with in the U.S. today. There are some records of a paler colored beer being served as early as 1890\u2019s; however, Paulaner is generally credited with popularizing the modern version when it introduced it\u2019s pale, golden beer in the 1970\u2019s that eventually became the dominant style. This beer is a stronger version of Helles and is referred to as Oktoberfestbier in Munich and Festbier outside of Munich. That being said, ANY beer served at Oktoberfest in Munich can be called Oktoberfestbier, even an amber version. Clear as mud, right?<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4880\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/20210902_1024412\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210902_1024417e2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2600,3085\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;LM-V600&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1630578281&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.58&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0032786885245902&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20210902_102441~2.jpg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Paulaner Oktoberfest Bier Photo: Let Us Drink Beer Blog&lt;\/p&gt;&#10;\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210902_1024417e2.jpg?w=253\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210902_1024417e2.jpg?w=723\" src=\"https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210902_1024417e2.jpg?w=723\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4880\" width=\"181\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210902_1024417e2.jpg?w=181 181w, https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210902_1024417e2.jpg?w=362 362w, https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210902_1024417e2.jpg?w=126 126w, https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210902_1024417e2.jpg?w=253 253w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 181px) 100vw, 181px\"\/><figcaption>Paulaner Oktoberfest Bier Photo: Let Us Drink Beer Blog<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Let\u2019s narrow things down to beer for the U.S. market. Most U.S. based breweries are finally starting to settle into a consistent naming of Oktoberfest beers. What you will find is, most breweries will name their amber Oktoberfest beer an \u201cOktoberfest M\u00e4rzen \u201c, \u201cFestbier  M\u00e4rzen\u201d or  \u201cM\u00e4rzen  Beer ( M\u00e4rzenbier)\u201d. Therefore, most U.S. breweries will let you know theirs is the amber version.  M\u00e4rzen in the U.S. can best be described as a malt forward amber lager with toasty and bready malt flavor, restrained bitterness and a finish that is dry and inviting. There are a handful that make the pale golden, stronger Helles version and they will typically call it a \u201cFestbier\u201d. This beer can be described as a pale, malt forward lager with light toast or bread dough-like flavor and light hop character. It has a medium body, restrained bitterness and finish that encourages you to have that next mug.<\/p>\n<p> The M\u00e4rzen style has been overwhelmingly popular in the U.S. market and no one really knows exactly why. The best explanation I\u2019ve heard is, because the craft beer market has popularized more rare styles over the typical pale American mass produced lager,  M\u00e4rzen is more popular because of its bigger flavors. But, the Festbier style is starting to catch on a bit. The cancellation of Oktoberfest in Munich for the second year in a row due to the COVID-19 pandemic has brought more actual Munich Oktoberfestbier (Festbier) style to the U.S. This is the first time I\u2019ve seen Paulaner Oktoberfest Bier (golden strong Helles) on the shelves in Atlanta. Paulaner normally ships over their Oktoberfest M\u00e4rzen.  Hofbrau\u2019s Oktoberfestbier and Weihenstephaner Festbier are some of the few of the golden strong Helles style I typically see in my area and they tend to disappear fast. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4892\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/img_20210902_112737_372\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_20210902_112737_372.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1769,2211\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Arches Marzen Bier\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Arches Marzen Bier Photo: Let Us Drink Beer Blog&lt;\/p&gt;&#10;\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_20210902_112737_372.jpg?w=240\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_20210902_112737_372.jpg?w=723\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_20210902_112737_372.jpg?w=723\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4892\" width=\"181\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_20210902_112737_372.jpg?w=181 181w, https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_20210902_112737_372.jpg?w=362 362w, https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_20210902_112737_372.jpg?w=120 120w, https:\/\/letusdrinkbeer.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_20210902_112737_372.jpg?w=240 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 181px) 100vw, 181px\"\/><figcaption>Arches Brewing Marzen Bier Photo: Let Us Drink Beer Blog<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>So what are some of the best Oktoberfest M\u00e4rzens and Festbiers to look for this year. Needless to say, the imported German versions are always terrific. My personal favorite is imported M\u00e4rzens is <strong>Ayinger Oktober Fest-M\u00e4rzen<\/strong> and <strong>Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest M\u00e4rzen<\/strong>. I had <strong>Paulaner\u2019s Oktoberfest Bier <\/strong>for the first time this year and it is amazing how drinkable it is at 6% ABV. I highly recommend that one, if you can find it, and <strong>Weihenstephaner Festbier<\/strong>, which I never let a season go by without grabbing some of it. Locally here in Georgia, <strong>Arches Brewing M\u00e4rzen Bier<\/strong>, <strong>Tucker Tucktoberfest<\/strong> <strong>(M\u00e4rzen)<\/strong>, and <strong>New Realm Bavarian Prince (M\u00e4rzen)<\/strong> are some of the best in Georgia. Outside of Georgia, I am certain you can find some well crafted M\u00e4rzens in your region. <strong>Victory Brewing (PA) Festbier M\u00e4rzen<\/strong> and <strong>Highland Brewing (NC) Claw Hammer M\u00e4rzen<\/strong> are two I try to make sure to purchase every fall. That\u2019s one of the nice things about this time of year, many craft beer breweries temporarily turn their focus from hop monsters and sours, to these highly drinkable beer styles meant to be shared enjoyed with others. <em>Prost!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading, until next time\u2026<em>Let Us Drink Beer!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Remember, always drink responsibly.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Helen, GA Photo: Let Us Drink Beer Blog For many beer lovers, this time of year is our favorite time of year.
