Brauerei Hofstetten

Festbier·Austria·6.3% ABV·One of 144 Festbiers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Original Hochzeitsbier von 1810's malty and full-bodied character. A festbier in the spirit of the beer served at the first Oktoberfest in 1810, at the wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese. The grist is 100% Munich malt, so the beer is dark and unfiltered, stronger and well hopped, with unfermentable residual extract for a pleasantly soft body, and warming fruity aromas cradle the hops. Brewed once a year, available from late summer while stocks last. 6.3% ABV.
