Beau’s award-winning Oktoberfest lager to be available across Canada

A fall classic, Märzen suits the season perfectly, with satisfying bread and biscuit malt character and an ultra-clean lager finish

Many fans across Canada of Beau’s Brewing Co.’s certified organic beer will get their first taste this fall of a popular seasonal brew that Ontarians have been enjoying for nearly a decade. Part of Beau’s ongoing Farm Table Series, Märzen is an orangey-amber 5.5% Oktoberfest lager. Since the recipe was first brewed in 2009, it has been recognized three times with awards at the National Organic Craft Beer Competition, in the lager/amber lager category.

A fall classic, Märzen suits the season perfectly. Munich malts contribute a satisfying bread and biscuit character, and German perle hops lend balancing bitterness; a super-clean lager finish completes the package. The Farm Table Series are sessionable beers inspired by tradition, and each brewed true to a classic or emerging style. Märzen is a traditional German lager style that takes its name from the month of March when it was historically brewed. The beer would be lagered in cellars throughout the summer and then released for Oktoberfest celebrations that fall.

Märzen will be available this fall in Ontario, Québec, British Columbia, Alberta, and New York State in bottles and draft; and in Manitoba, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick on draft only.
