From the German, meaning “March Beer” and dating back to fifteenth century Bavaria. The beer was brewed in late winter and then stored in caves packed with ice blocks cut from nearby ponds. The mouths of the caves were shaded by planting chestnut trees, ensuring the barrels a long, cool maturation through the warm months. These beers were the forerunners of the lagers we enjoy today (“lager” meaning “to store”). Nickel Brook Marzenbier is brewed with a blend of six European malts, and German hops. Dark red in colour, with a rich, yet refined body balanced by hop dryness. Who says they don’t make them like they used to?

Just finished trying samples of this newly redone Fest Marzen at the brewery and took a few packs home to sip on. Great color to this lager – a clear reddish orange. 1 finger off white cap. Decent aroma….all the elements of a proper Marzen are there – bready, toasty earthy noble hops very light sweetness. Medium body, rocky mouth feel, malty-toasty dry character. Nice chew of Munich amber malts in front big breadiness with a balancing earthy-woody hop discernment. Clean dry finish with some lingering breadiness. A very decent local Marzen in the traditional Bavarian style. The brewer has improved this Marzen with a new process and recipe.
