Catawba Festbier Lager (12 oz)

From the "Can"

Raise a stein to the world’s original beer fest! This authentic German-style lager is a gateway to the celebration, from Munich to Morganton. Brewed according to modern day Bavarian standards, our Festbier represents a lighter, more sessionable evolution of the classic Märzen style. This easy-drinker showcases its distinctive Vienna malt character, with notes of light bread crust and a soft sweetness. Noble hops provide balancing bitterness, lending a touch of floral, spicy hop aroma and flavor. It finishes smooth and clean. Prost!

The Beer Can section is a virtual homage to the American beer-can collecting craze of the 1970s. The rise of thousands of microbreweries have made 'dump scouring' or digging for old beer cans in the woods and abandoned campgrounds a thing of the past. The thousands of young men who could pick up a can in any vacant lot when the hobby was at its zenith in the 1970s have grown up - but fortunately may now find hundreds of colorful cans (full of good brew) within mere miles of their homes.
