The Hacker Pschorr is the other grandfather to the Marzen style, coming from Germany. This beer adheres to the German purity laws and has a long and storied history. Coming directly from their site.
“Forbidden as it was to brew in summer, a stronger beer – the Märzen – was brewed earlier in March. It would finally be served at the Oktoberfest, under the “Heaven of Bavaria”. We have returned once again to the age-old recipe and recreated that gloriously smooth, honey-coloured piece of history from times gone by. And all is brewed with due reverence to the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516..”
Appearance: Classic with the blue and white checkers and the German woman holding up a stein while riding a horse. Even the way the bottle is shaped makes you think this is going to be good.
Aroma: The aroma is heavy bready with touches of malts. Not too heavy but there is something here .
Taste: The taste is actually very clean with a little bit of caramel and some toasted malts. The taste won’t knock your lederhosen off but it will keep you coming back for more.
Experience: This is another prime example of a beer hall classic. Goes down smooth, not too heavy. I love it.
Game Pairing: When it comes to game pairing I chose Pitfall. The classic platformer deserves a beer with a ton of history that will be easy to drink. Grab a six pack and avoid those pits!
