Ocht : number eight in Irish. Ochtoberfest sounds like a German beer festival traditionally held to celebrate the marriage of King Ludwig I and Princess Therese of Bavaria back in 1810. But it's not. Ochtoberfest is a modern Irish festival celebrating the lucky and infinite nature of this humble numeral. Only beer brewed eight degrees west of Grenwich on the eighth month of the year - and served at precisely eight degrees celsius - can be consumed at the festival. Eight Degrees Brewing have brewed a Märzen-style beer, which just happens to be the traditional brew of that other festival in Munich. This beer is a full bodied lager with a deep amber colour, rich toasty malt and hopped far more than Ludwig would have liked.
