Featuring Beers from the Paulaner and Hacker-Pschorr
Breweries in Munich!

Paulaner’s Hefe-Weizen
This traditional wheat beer is naturally cloudy with a perfect mix of refreshing taste and aroma. Traces of banana and pineapple help deliver a superb balance between sweet and bitter–the perfect wheat beer! (5.5% ABV)

Paulaner’s Müncher Lager
Paulaner’s original Münchner Lager is a mild, sessionable lager. With a slight hint of sweetness and a tinge of hops, this classic beer is the perfect lager. (4.9% ABV)

Paulaner’s Oktoberfest Bier
This full-bodied golden lager is the only beer sold in today’s Paulaner tent during the Munich Oktoberfest. It’s a mellow blend of malt and fragrant hops, making this beer perfect for the Biergarten. (6% ABV)

Paulaner’s Oktoberfest Märzen
This amber style beer was developed over 200 years ago to celebrate the original Oktoberfest. It’s a full-bodied beer which offers rich malt flavors and dark toffee notes, balanced expertly with hops. (5.8% ABV)

Paulander Pils
A classic German pilsner that delivers a clean crips taste. Paulaner’s Bavarian brewers have been refining the recipe since the mid 1800s and have arrived at a flavorful beer that is light, remarkable refreshing and perfectly sessionable. (4.8% ABV)

Hacker-Pschorr’s Münchner Dunkel

The epitome of Munich’s dark lagers, Hacker-Pschorr’s Münchner Dunkel is dark in color and has a malty nose, generous flavor, and a clean, hoppy finish.  (5% ABV)

The Maryland German Festival offers schnitzel, wurst, and other authentic German foods, music and dancing, craft and clothing vendors, and great free activities for the kids
