Frequently Asked Questions


What kind of beer is served at Oktoberfest celebrations?

Traditionally, Oktoberfest celebrations feature two main styles of German lager: Märzen and Festbier. Märzen is a classic, amber-colored lager known for its rich, toasted malt profile. Festbier is a modern, golden-colored lager that is lighter in body and highly drinkable, making it the style more commonly served beer at the Munich festival.

What is the most popular beer at Oktoberfest?

At the official festival in Munich, only six Munich breweries (Augustiner, Hacker-Pschorr, Hofbräu, Löwenbräu, Paulaner, and Spaten) are permitted to serve beer at Oktoberfest. Paulaner typically sells the most beer at the festival. Spaten is known for popularizing the Marzen style and Paulaner for developing the modern Festbier style.

What is the #1 beer in Germany?

By total sales volume across Germany, Krombacher consistently holds the top spot as the country's best-selling beer brand, and is best known for its crisp pilsner.
