A celebratory lager beer, brewed in honour of the world’s greatest beer festival, Oktoberfest. Drawing inspiration from the robust, yet endlessly drinkable Festbiers enjoyed at Oktoberfest, the Ansbacher Festbier is a celebration of lager at its finest.
The beer is gloriously golden in colour, and is clean, crisp and refreshing. A pleasing aroma of traditional, noble hops is paired with a subtly sweet malt base, all balanced by a thirst-quenching bitterness.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from the brewery taproom, Bermondsey. Pours clear honey-gold with a small, creamy white head. Light sweet flavour with notes of sun-kissed biscuity malts, nips of honey and caramel, bread, soft bitter hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Clean finish, nice rounded malty sweetness, moreish bitter dirty hay. This beer started well and got better. Impressive.
