	Oktoberfest - History of Oktoberfest - Oktoberfest Music, Beer, Food, & Events
		When the city began allowing beer on the fairgrounds, makeshift beer stands began cropping up, and their number increased steadily until they were eventually replaced by beer halls in 1896.
		Like all German beer, the Oktoberfest beer is brewed according to strict German standards (called the Reinheitsgebot and in effect since 1516) that precisely define the four ingredients allowed in the brewing of beer: barley, hops, malt, and yeast.
		Oktoberfest is known as much for its traditional folk music as it is for its beer drinking.

		Cool fall days spell big selections of good oktoberfest beer, and it would be a shame to let a fall pass by without sampling at least a few of these wonderfully tasty, deliciously smooth lager ambers.
		No discussion of oktoberfest is complete without talking about Spaten Ur-Oktoberfest -- the originator of the style and one of a handful beers that truly define to beer critics what exactly it is that a good oktoberfest beer should represent.
		Oktoberfest lagers are also called "marzen" because of their historical roots (brewers used to make the beers in March and age them for six months in deep caves throughout the summer months so that they'd be at their prime in time for the Oktoberfest).

	Oktoberfest! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Before the revolution in brewing caused by refrigeration, Marzen beers were brewed in March, lagered or cold-stored in caves for 10-12 weeks, and ready to drink by the late summer or early fall.
		Nowadays, imported Oktoberfest biers tend to be lighter in color and body than the traditional Marzen style, while American craft breweries are creating festbiers that are often slightly higher in alcohol, richer in hops aroma and flavor, and redder in hue than the European festbiers.
		At the Munich Oktoberfest, the food is served in gargantuan portions: haunches of oxen and whole chickens are spit-roasted, and myriad sausages are steamed and served with sauerkraut and onions.

	Beer Review: Oktoberfest Märzen (Hacker-Pschorr)
		Oktoberfest style beers are always Märzen styles which means malty, sweet, bottom-cold-fermented beers (lagers), often amber in color, with lots of caramel and a full body.

		Oktoberfest dates back to 1810 when the Crown prince of Bavaria decided to tie the knot, an event that coincided with the annual rolling out of the last kegs of Maerzen Bier.
		The rich, malty Maerzen became the style of beer associated with the event until recently, when the six official Munich brewers of Oktoberfest Bier switched to a lighter brew similar to a Munich Helles.
		A few years ago, as I was writing about Paulaner Oktoberfest beer I was also deeply engrossed in a feature piece for New England’s beer periodical (or beeriodical as we like to call it), the Yankee Brew News.

	Pete's Brewing Company's Oktoberfest beer
		The beer has an initial and distinct caramel and toasted malt flavor that is balanced by a subtle hops bitterness on the palate.
		My main criticism of the beer is that it has a thinner mouthfeel than expected and the flavor could be a little more robust.

	Oktoberfest Beer Foamer - Gizmodo
		I think we can all agree that if you've lost the foam on your mug of beer, you're either drinking something with a lousy head or you've waited far to long to drink it.
		The problem is, of course, that it appears to just stir the beer, releasing the carbonation that would otherwise cause a good beer to sparkle on the tongue, meaning you'll have a nice, new head on a flat beer.
		Also, to all the snotty haters out there - not all American beer is 'foamy pap not worthy of the name,' although we do have our fair sure, for sure.
