Festbier·Germany·One of 123 Festbiers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Festbier's spicy and malty character. Festbier is spicy and easy to drink, which is what the brewery wants from a proper festival beer. It comes from the house that raised the first tent at Straubing's Gäubodenfest in 1922, in the lean years after the First World War. Arcobräu still invites guests to taste its Festbier at known events, among them the Gäubodenvolksfest, Volksfest Plattling and the Reisbacher Volksfest.
