The brewers of Munich are already busy preparing the nectar which will be poured in millions of gallons into the mugs of the Oktoberfest (September 21th – October 6th ). Also this year the legendary festival in Munich – held, since 1810, at the Theresienwiese field – is expected to draw millions of visitors. But to know how to choose the right beer<\/strong> it is best to read the following information.<\/p>\n

The Bavarian beer par excellence, the Lager Muncher, is a close relative of the M\u00e4rzen, the beer brewed especially for this great event. Here in alphabetical order are the most important Bavarian beers<\/strong> which will be tapped in several breweries in the Festhalle<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Augustiner<\/strong>
\nPale color, poured with almost no head, scent of hops, malt and caramel. Suitable with rice dishes. The Augustiner brewery is in Neuhauser Strasse 27.<\/p>\n

Ayinger Weisse
\n<\/strong>Ayinger is a village in the Alps near Munich. Here this Weisse is produced; pale straw-colored, a rather thick head of foam, scents of flowers and ripe fruit. Suitable in combination with a platter of bacon and asparagus rolls.<\/p>\n

Eku 28
\n<\/strong>The Eku 28 is brewed in Kulmbach, north of Nuremberg. Its Lager Dopperbock has an amber color, strong taste of malt, fruity fragrant with little to no head. It has a high alcohol content, it is recommended with red meat or game.<\/p>\n

Erdinger Weissbier
\n<\/strong>Erdinger is the main wheat beer factory in Germany. This beer has a white foamy head, its color is yellow, the aroma is fruity, flowery and spicy scented. The Erdinger brewery is located in Erding town, in Upper Bavaria.<\/p>\n

Franziskaner
\n<\/strong>The most famous Spaten of Munich, with intense aromas of fruit, fresh flowers and grains. It\u2019s one of Germany’s oldest beers. Goes well with white Bavarian sausages and smoked cheeses.<\/p>\n

Hacker-Pschorr
\n<\/strong>This Weizen of Munich has a fruity scent and a persistent head. The taste of yeast dominates with a hint of smoke. These features make it ideal to accompany pasta with tomato sauce and white meat.<\/p>\n

HB M\u00fcnchner Kindl
\n<\/strong>This is a classic example of Bavarian Lager. Golden colored with a compact head, classic scent of malt. Because of its delicacy it is suitable with cold cuts and boiled fish dishes.<\/p>\n

Lowenbrau<\/strong>
\nBeer with a thick foamy head. It has an aroma of fresh herbs and hops. And it\u2019s one of the most famous breweries in Munich and definitely a favorite during Oktoberfest. The L\u00f6wenbr\u00e4u brewery is in Nymphenburger Str. 2.<\/p>\n

Paulaner Hefe Weissbier<\/strong>
