Diamond Bear Fest
A lager in the classic Märzen and Oktoberfest style, aged cold for smoothness: a pleasant malty sweetness leads into a smooth finish. Diamond Bear brews it as its fall seasonal. Co-founder Russ Melton served four years in the military in Germany, where he acquired a taste for fine beers.
