All I want to drink are lagers, but good german style lagers are hard to come by in Vancouver. So, taking matters into my own hands I’ve started a journey to create a festbier. This recipe is beginning life as something between a marzen and munich lager. The intention is to let it drift over time, most likely however it will end life pretty close to a modern festbier: golden in color, 5.5% alcohol, and a moderately bright hop flavor. I’m aiming for something highly drinkable, low in alcohol, and easy on the hops.
