ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Port City Brewing Company announces the return of our Oktoberfest, a Märzen Style Lager, to celebrate the end of summer. For over 200 years the City of Munich has thrown a party in the end of September known as Oktoberfest. Originally it was to celebrate a royal wedding but now it has grown into the largest folk festival in the world. Over 7 million people will attend, drinking over 8 million liters of beer made by the 6 Munich breweries
The Port City Oktoberfest is our rendition of the classic “Märzen” style lager served on the “Oide Wiesn” or old meadow as the fest ground is colloquially known. Brewed with German malt and hops and served in the “Keller” or “Zwickel” style meaning unfiltered and naturally carbonated. This beer is a brilliant amber with gentle flavors of crusty bread, leading to a clean, dry finish punctuated by just a touch of noble hops.
Oktoberfest will be available throughout the Mid-Atlantic with market releases, tap takeovers, and tastings culminatingin Port City’s Oktoberfest Outdoor Party and Celebration on Saturday, September 28, 2019.
