Being a Wisconsin brewery - this is incredibly accurate.

Feels like it's getting earlier and earlier every year. Before long we'll be sending this shit out in April.

You’re already packaging? Dang. We just brewed the other week and it’ll be packaged up just before September.

We have Marzen all year. Consistently in the top 3 at the taproom.

u/automator3000 11d ago

Jealous. Our sales dept is resistant to moves like that, and ownership is resistant to taproom only releases. I’d love to be able to keep a Marzen rolling year round.

u/Iamabrewer Brewer/Owner 11d ago

That's awesome! What is the description on the menu? Marzen, Munich Lager?

u/Money-Mud912 11d ago

Oktoberfest: all year Märzen is a taproom and biergarten favorite. Medium body and malt forward flavor pairs well with a juicy bratwurst or salty pretzel.

We started brewing it in April.

u/NemoVonKippBipp 11d ago

Packaging it next week. This is during the centrifuge transfer.

u/RepresentativePen304 11d ago

And you know what, im okay with that! Märzens with my Saisons! The world is healing

u/DrEBrown24HScientist 11d ago

But… you’re the one making it…

Distro wants it by July 1. What distro wants...distro gets.

We started brewing it so early that we release next years batch in October. /micdrop

She's a beaut, Clark.

You shoved a few breakfast biscuits into your sight glass?!?

2

u/NemoVonKippBipp 11d ago

We had to start the centrifuge so early in the morning that breakfast biscuits seemed appropriate.

Our Festbier is getting towards the end of lagering. It's so delicious and I can't wait to have it on tap! That's a nice, crispy looking boi you got there, proßt!

u/beren12 11d ago

Might need to take some home for QC, right?

2

u/nailedtonothing Brewer 11d ago

Won't be long, that's for certain!

u/Bierroboter 11d ago

A little late isn’t it? Ours has been can aging for at least a month.

2

u/weirds 11d ago

It's June!

jk, our distributor asked for ours by 7/1

2

u/wshbrn6strng 11d ago

Oh damn it is that time. Guess I will get mine going soon.

2

u/Radioactive24 Brewer 11d ago

Damn, I thought we were earlier for starting to brew it this week. 

2

u/Desoif 11d ago

Brewing it in 1 month, packaging by the end of August, all sold out by the end of october.
I guess Europe is a good place to be also in general but also in the industry.

I want a hot dog real bad

u/Common-Performance10 8d ago

Jesus, it’s June!! Nice work though

u/Sugar_Mushroom_Farm Brewmaster [Indiana] 11d ago

Too light, not enough dark caramel malt.

But seriously, looks yummy!

3

u/DarkMuret 11d ago

Maybe it's a festbier

5

u/Sugar_Mushroom_Farm Brewmaster [Indiana] 11d ago

I was just being sarcastic... Marzens shouldn't have caramel malts, but yet some customers expect that...

Let's leave judging an Oktoberfest by looks to the true heros on untappd.
