Beer of the Week

The beer: Creekfestbier Lager

Brewed by: Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company, Croydon, Pennsylvania

Description (from the website): "Traditionally brewed in March just before brewing was banned for the Summer, Märzenbiers are malty, smooth, clean, and rich lagers that have a distinctive malt backbone and complexity for a style that can be so understated. Brewed with German Munich and Pilsen malts as well as German Hallertau and Tettnanger hops, this distinctive brew is conditioned at cold lagering temperatures for five months; some things you just can’t rush. This is a true Oktoberfest offering, one that is prominently featured during our Oktoberfest celebration at the brewery, and at 5.2% ABV it’s a crisp, smooth, and easy to drink beer perfect for the chilly Fall nights ahead."

Would I buy it again?: Yes, I would. As I've mentioned, I enjoy Märzen beers a lot. And it's fall, so they're everywhere. It's extremely drinkable and more importantly, it doesn't taste like a pumpkin just punched me in the face. I know pumpkin beers are popular at this time of year, but I appreciate a fall seasonal beer that isn't pumpkin flavored. Also, this was a pint instead of 12 oz, so that's another extremely good reason to buy this one again
