Mohren Märzen if you want malty depth and seasonal tradition,
Weiherer Lager if you want crisp simplicity.
The Märzen leans into what makes the style work—a touch of caramel sweetness and gentle spice that builds as it warms. The Weiherer strips things back to core lager fundamentals: clean grain, restrained bitterness, drink-it-fast freshness. Both are Bavarian, but they're playing different games.

Mohren Märzen
The Märzen hits with a soft grain sweetness right away—think biscuit and a whisper of honey. There's a mild herbal note that creeps in after, nothing aggressive, just enough to keep it from being one-dimensional. The 22 IBUs are barely a presence; this beer is about texture and warmth, not bitterness. Sits heavy enough that you feel it, but not heavy enough to regret a second one.
Weiherer Lager
The Weiherer is almost austere by comparison—it's all about clean malts and a bright finish that doesn't linger. The lower ABV makes it feel lighter on the tongue than the numbers suggest. There's no pretense here, just well-executed fundamentals. It's the kind of beer that disappears when you're talking, which is either a compliment or a warning depending on your mood.
