It’s that time of year again – Oktoberfest is here – and what better way to celebrate than with a beer straight from Bavaria, made in the oldest brewery in the world? The Weihenstephaner Oktoberfestbier (also known simply as Festbier in certain markets) pours a brilliant, clear, golden color capped by a nice crop of white foam that retains fairly well before leaving behind some lace as it drops to a persistent collar. Unlike some other Oktoberfest-style beers, which are often very focused on doughy/bready malts, this brew offers a much more balanced approach, and actually leans a bit more towards the hoppy end of the spectrum. The malt presence is there on the nose, offering a bit of a bready, crackery quality, but we found the European noble hops really shine through, presenting a grassy, herbal, and lightly earthy quality bolstered with some notes of lemon pith. Expect a well-balanced beer on the palate, with a fairly substantial core of pils malt offering a touch of honey-like sweetness, while the hops balance with a lemony zing and a spicy herbal character that does a good job of drying out this festbier in the finish. Like all of the Weihenstephaner beers, this one is supremely drinkable; try pairing with grilled spicy sausages, pierogies, pizza, or spicy chicken dishes. Prost!
A good beer takes its time. The long storage makes the yellow bright lager, “Weihenstephan Original”, a flavourful beer enjoyed with fine poured, white foam. With a mild hoppy note and its pleasant fresh spicy taste, it goes very well with salads, poultry, stews or with a hearty snack. Brewed according to the centuries-old brewing tradition on the Weihenstephan hill.
Big white fluffy head, with a long lace add to the yellow straw color with some bubbling. This beer is hop heaven, with an aroma straight out of a brew pot with pale malts. This pilsner has a great nose. Excellent balance of flavour with subtle candy malt notes and floral perfumes. The beer has a crisp finish. ABV 5.1
A full rich bodied, hoppy, seasonal lager. Especially brewed for the Festbier season. This beer truly represents the Bavarian way of celebrating. Deep gold color, great mouthfeel and lots of flavor. Prost!

A double bock beer that has what it takes. Not just for lovers of strong beer. With a malty aroma and great taste, our Korbinian is a true beer specialty. It goes well with smoked meat and fish as well as wild roasts and fowl.
