Oktoberfest
A biscuity character carries Blue Point's Oktoberfest, a Märzen-style lager at 5.7% ABV and 15 IBU. The style dates back to a celebration of a Bavarian crown prince's betrothal, and the Patchogue brewery brews it every fall to keep that tradition alive on Long Island.

What is a Märzen?
Märzens are Bavarian lagers with 5.8–6.3% ABV. Rich toasty malt — bread, caramel, biscuit — with clean lager fermentation and low bitterness.
