Pedal Haus, Tempe I struggle with Oktoberfest Märzen. I really want to like the American versions. Generally, I don't care for them. They seem to be too malty, too carmel forward, way too much Caramel & Munich malts. Overall I prefer the lighter Festbier, which can be just as malt forward (or even more) and elegant as the Märzen. For me there are a few Gold Standard European Märzen Beers: Hacker-Pschorr OktoberfestBier - Dry and snappy, delightful bitter finish Spaten Ok

Raise A Stein, PROST! Oktoberfest in Munich officially runs from Sat, Sep 19, 2026 – Sun, Oct 4, 2026 Here in Arizona, we are little more flexible with our Oktoberfest dates, likely due to the hot weather that frequently persists well into October.

Gluten Reduced WCIPA! Pretty cool to see some gluten reduced options for a fully hopped WCIPA. I often wondered how they achieve this result. According to White Labs: To brew a gluten-reduced IPA, use traditional barley or wheat malts, then add a proline-specific enzyme like White Labs Clarity Ferm (also known as Brewers Clarex) during yeast pitching. This enzyme cleaves the gluten proteins, safely reducing gluten levels below 20 ppm without altering your IPA's flavor or hop
