    I should have said more like a Vienna Lager or a lager in general.
    I was in Germany from 1976 to1979. Giessen.

    Or lager in general. I guess I had too many Marzens when I wrote that post. Yes it was lager, yellow and somewhat darker than pale. I broke my liter mug on a lamp post while staggering back to the hostel.

    What do you mean “lager in general”?

    That’s a pretty broad category.

    What should the date code for a Hofbrau brewed this year look like?

    is there a precise date code somewhere on the Paulaner Oktoberfest Wiesn? i see the "best before" date--which is April 2020--does that mean these were bottled April 2019?

    I used to have graduate level understanding of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.

    Now I just know hot air rises and something something makes lift with an airplane wing

    I thought the video below on the 1:50 mark was enlightening in showing the bottled Hacker Pschorr Märzen vs the beer served in the tent. The narrator notes that it is the only one which is a different beer in the bottle vs what is served in the tent at the Oktoberfest.
