Description:

A longtime favorite and one of the original gluten-free beer kits from Gluten Free Home Brewing, this Classic Oktoberfest showcases the rich malt character that defines the style. Layers of Munich and Vienna millet malt provide deep bread crust, toast, and subtle caramel notes, while a clean fermentation profile keeps the finish crisp and drinkable. Inspired by traditional Bavarian Märzen lagers, it's a smooth, substantial beer made for cool evenings, harvest celebrations, and raising a stein with friends.
