7 Locks Oktoberfest Märzen

7 Locks Oktoberfest Märzen

A traditional German style Märzen brewed for the fall, with a hint of cherrywood to ring in the arrival of autumn. Amber copper in the glass with a lasting white head, it drinks malty and toasty with a clean, dry finish and enough hop bitterness to hold it together. Prost, as the label says.

Why you'll love it

• Märzen — the amber, malty lager style brewed for Oktoberfest.
• German style — malty rather than hoppy, with a clean lager finish.
• A hint of cherrywood — a subtle woodsy note behind the toast.
• 5.5% ABV — sessionable strength for a long table and a plate of sausage.
• Amber and clear — copper colored with a firm head and good clarity.

How to Enjoy Serve it cool, not ice cold, in a stein or a pint glass. Bratwurst, roast chicken, pretzels with mustard, or a plate of fall vegetables. It is built for a table full of food.

Buy it by the pack while the weather still feels like October.
