Celebrate The Original Oktobierfest Here

It’s probably on the bucket list of every beer lover to visit Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany, and specifically the Hofbräu tent, which holds 10,000 revellers. We are fortunate to have the same Hofbräu Oktoberfest beer that is served in Munich available for a limited time at your local LCBO outlet. Do you know that in Munich, only breweries located within the city limits are allowed to sell their seasonal beers for Oktoberfest. This is unlike breweries around the world that have hijacked the term Oktoberfest for whatever beer they wish to produce and market.

Hofbräu’s classic Märzen style brew is bright gold in colour with rich aromas of bread, medium-to-full bodied with a long citrus and dried hay finish. The alcohol clocks in at a slightly higher level of 6.3%. The independent Beverage Testing Institute gave it 93 points with an addition “Exceptional” rating. And don’t forget to pick up some sausages, buns and sauerkraut from your local grocery retailer to allow you to create your own Oktoberfest. Bring out the lederhosen, rinse out your stein and have a good time. Ein Prosit der Gemütlichkeit, that is, a toast to good cheer, in German.

Hobräu Oktoberfestbier 500 ml LCBO #84889, $4.50.
