hopIQ found 10 beers that share Hachenburger Festbier's malty and bready character. 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.
