Often called Oktoberfest Lagers, these rich fest beers are great for any festive occasion. Switchback\u2019s M\u00e4rzen is wonderfully malty with a balanced and crisp hop character. Our M\u00e4rzen is aged six full weeks using a traditional lagering process. Following in that tradition, the beer is naturally conditioned, using the yeast to create carbonation in the aging tank. Going through a slow, multi-step fermentation process allows this beer to highlight the best characteristics of a lager. It is all about the malt and the hops, with the yeast staying in the background flavor-wise, keeping the beer exceptionally clean, crisp, and refreshing. Like all Switchback beers, M\u00e4rzen is not filtered. The clarity is from the long aging process, whereby the cloudiness has slowly settled out of the beer.<\/p>\n<p>All Switchback beers are brewed in Burlington, Vermont and are carbonated during fermentation by the yeast itself resulting in a 100% naturally conditioned beer. After aging, we simply move the beer to the keg or bottle, leaving it unfiltered for the freshest, fullest, most natural flavor possible.<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Zero Gravity Craft Brewery Oktoberfest<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>From <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zerogravitybeer.com\/marzen-lager\/\" target=\"_blank\">zerogravitybeer.com:<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Marzen Lager &#8211;<br \/>\nGerman malts and hops along with a long lagering give this beer impeccable drinkability.
