About

Hofbräu Oktoberfestbier is the official festival beer of Oktoberfest in Munich, brewed by Hofbräu München since 1812. This Märzen-style lager is one of only six beers permitted to carry the Oktoberfest name, a distinction reserved exclusively for Munich breweries. Crafted from Pilsner, Munich, and Vienna malts combined with noble hops, this full-bodied beer opens with a tangy sweetness before transitioning to a crisp, dry finish. The palate reveals layers of malt, caramel, dried fruit, fig, and honey, culminating in a pleasant residual sweetness and a dry, noble bitterness that lingers gently. At 6.3% ABV, the beer's alcohol warmth is well-hidden beneath its balanced malt character. This is the authentic taste that brings millions together each year at Munich's most famous festival.
