Everything you need to craft your perfect brew

STORY

Before the castles and fairytales of Ludwig II, there was King Ludwig I, who gave Bavaria something even better: Oktoberfest. This starter kit lets you brew a traditional Märzen inspired by the original 1810 celebration — when Bavarians gathered to toast love, beer, and community beneath crisp autumn skies.

This lager follows the old ways: brewed strong and well-hopped, then cold-fermented to mellow over time. Start it now, and you’ll be ready for stein-worthy sipping when the season turns.

PROFILE

The King’s Märzen is deep amber in color and rich in malt complexity. Smooth Vienna and Munich malts create a toasty backbone, while classic Hallertau hops add a noble, spicy balance. When fermented cool with genuine lager yeast, it finishes clean and crisp — just like the beers served in the tents of Munich.
