n the UK, as the leaves start to change colour and fall to the ground, many beer-drinkers start to yearn for darker, sweeter styles once again.

However, over in Bavaria, our German friends are turning their mind to Oktoberfest and all the wonderful treats that come with it.

In tribute to the famous centuries’ old German festival, we have decided to brew a Festbier in cask.

Brewed stronger than a normal Helles-style lager, and featuring a much more malty character, Festbier is the perfect beer to celebrate this tradition.

The million of litres sold every year at the festival events tell you that this immensely popular beer is one perfectly designed to be shared among friends. So, sit down, grab a pretzel and raise a stein or three in tribute to Oktoberfest.
