The year 1933 saw the repeal of national prohibition in the United States. While it was not fully repealed until Dec. 5th, it was amended to allow the production of beer on April 7th. Many of the long suffering national brewers whose livelihoods were restored were of German heritage and it only seemed right to brew this malty, German style lager to commemorate the occasion. Using German malts and prized Czech Saaz hops, we've brewed a very smooth and drinkable toast to the repeal. The color is very light amber and the aroma is malty with a delicately spicy hop note. Brewed as a German Style Maerzen or "March" beer, this is also very similar to the Octoberfest style.

    I have to admit, I was skeptical about a Marzen brewed with Saaz, but it worked! Rich and malty with enough bitterness to balance, perfect carbonation. A great 'fest brew. Well played.
