Fair State Brewing Festbier 6pk 12oz cans
A cooperatively owned brewery's take on the modern German Festbier style, paler and lighter than a traditional Märzen while keeping real malt depth. What sets this one apart technically is decoction mashing, boiling a portion of the mash separately before returning it to the main mash, a labor-intensive, old-world brewing method Fair State uses only for this beer, giving it an unusually deep malt character without heaviness or excess sweetness. Expect a crisp, bready, nuanced profile with honeyed graham cracker and toasted bread notes, finishing clean and dangerously drinkable for the style. A limited seasonal release and a genuine standout among American-made Festbiers.
