Franconian beer has a rich history and is perfect for a Real Oktoberfest. For our upcoming celebration, we’ll be bringing in Germany gravity kegs (sometimes called Bayerische Anstich kegs) from various breweries scattered around Franconia. For those that have been to Bamberg, or just about any Franconian village, you’ll recognize these kegs, which are typically set on the bar for serving and are the traditional serving vessels of the Franconian keller.
For our Real Oktoberfest Weekend (Friday, October 5th, through Sunday, October 7th) we’ll be offering a rotation of these interesting and unusual beers:
- Mahr’s Ungespundet
- Mahr’s Unfiltered Pils
- Mahr’s Hell
