Beer Friday #17
Friday, 21 September, 2007, 20:46 - Beer, Beer Friday
Since it is now officially Oktoberfest, I have to go with a traditional Oktoberfest-Märzen beer. This one comes from the town of Aying, Germany (a bit southeast of München).
Ayinger brewery is not actually one of the official breweries associated with Oktoberfest, but they certainly know their stuff. The true test was giving a glass of it to one of my co-workers who is from München. He absolutely loves the stuff. And so do I. It's a classic Märzen. And perhaps one of the best you will ever find. If you want the scoop on what makes a Märzen a Märzen and for more on Oktoberfest, check out:

So here's a hearty prost in celebration of everyone's favorite excuse to drink good German beer... Pick up some Ayinger Oktoberfest-Märzen at your local BevMo.
