Beer Alternatives
hopIQ found 10 beers with the same malty and clean character as Hachenburger Festbier. The Festbier as the Westerwald builds it — 12.8° Stammwürze, 5.5% ABV, hopped restrained enough that the malt does the talking. Süffig without being sweet, richer than the Pils but nowhere near a bock. Made to disappear in a stein at long tables. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
