Staffelberg-Bräu Märzen

Märzen is a delicious piece of beer history It originates from a time when brewing was not possible between the end of April and the end of September due to a lack of cooling facilities In order to still be able to drink beer in summer, brewers ended the season with a powerful strong beer that could be enjoyed well into the second half of the year thanks to its high alcohol content and massive stature, Because this beer was usually produced from March onwards, it was given the name Märzen This style of beer is particularly typical in southern Germany and has survived to this day, even though it can now be brewed all year round thanks to electric refrigeration The current Märzen is hardly any different from its ancestors: It has always impressed with its velvety-soft mouthfeel, full body, aromatic malt richness and hints of caramel

The Märzen from the Franconian Staffelberg brewery is no exception: its original Franconian interpretation presents itself in a shimmering fox-red amber hue and smells and tastes of gently roasted malt, toffee that melts on the tongue, toasted hazelnuts, golden grain and fine forest honey A light-footed bitterness underlines the interplay of aromas, but does not detract from the smooth sweetness A spicy finish crowns the beer enjoyment and makes you want the next bottle
