- I threw a huge Oktoberfest party for my 50th birthday in Fall 2022 where I served 20 US gallons of home brewed Oktoberfest beer; half traditional Märzen, half modern Festbier (Oktoberfestbier). See which one was the preferred party favorite! #oktoberfest
A comparison of both styles is made and the party favorite recipe is reviewed in detail so that you too can make the same beer.

Glad you liked it!
Sounds like a great 50th Larry! Good beer, Good friends. Can't go wrong with that!
You are correct.
Love that you went all German for everything! Cheers and Happy New Year!!
Yes. Me too. I wanted to honor my heritage by making sure everything I made was traditional German beer and food.
Thank you for this recipe. I appreciate it. I never got to brew these styles.
Happy belated! Welcome to the "old" club ;) 🎂

Fellow Larry here and my birthday is September. I may have to copy you and brew some festbier in early 2023 and lager them for a lartoberfest! Cheers!
LOL. Lartoberfest. Awesome! I may have to use that. 😀
@@BEERNBBQBYLARRY No issue at all Lar. I'm in Ireland so no trademark I fringements haha

Rye Bread, Soft Pretzels.
German Potato Salad
Gurkensalat
Käesespätzle
Always fun drinking out of a Stein! Have you ever made a Kellerbier? I've been into German style beers lately and have been considering brewing a Kellerbier. Similar in style to a fest beer but they're unfiltered.
Never made them, but I’ve drank them.
look tasty!
Detroiter here - really can't agree harder with you about how Great Lakes Water is just awesome for lagers
Awesome video Larry thank you for sharing the recipes! Question for you, did you notice any extra fruity esters with the lager temp yeast when fermenting under pressure at room temp or was it clean?
None. They have been clean just like every other lager I've pressure fermented which dates back to ~2017.
@@BEERNBBQBYLARRY That’s fantastic. Thanks for responding. I just got a pressure fermenter this Christmas from my best friend and I’m about to start a traditional lager ferment for the first time after brewing dozens of ales so this is encouraging.
Dunkelweizen is probably my favorite! I drank a whole boot of it like it was a cup of water. Then sized down to pints after that.......
I was in the Chicago land area for the German Festival in 2022. Man, it was chilly.
That’s too bad. We usually have great September weather.
I enjoy watching your videos, brother. You should consider starting your own beer company! I have zero doubt you’d be a huge success in little time!
I appreciate that! Thanks, Mike. I am looking for an out to corporate work life. Problem is, I've been looking for years and have yet to commit to it.
Great video, Larry! I tried to download the PDF version of your Festbier. It's a dead link. Is there another way to get the PDF version? Thanks!
It works now.
@@BEERNBBQBYLARRY Thank you!
Sounds like it was a great party
It sure was.
Happy birthday (belated) ..beer looks great...hey we're the same age...go figure...😉
Thanks! Yeah, we’re halfway to a hundred.
Larry, Are you aware that Lallemand have just released a new hybrid Lager yeast called Novalager Yeast? It is a true Lager yeast, not a Psudolager yeast and you can ferment with it at Ale temperatures even not under pressure, you basically treat it as a ale yeast and you can ferment under 6 days with no horrible Sulphur off flavors and requires no diacetyl rest or anything, they have isolate the part in the yeast which causes that apparently, it is a huge game changer in the industry specially for home brewers and craft brewers who want to turn over lagers under a week, it's midsummer down here in Victoria Australia I've tried getting it but we were told it would be available here in mid January, at this stage it is hard to get in the small packs but you can buy a brick which costs a fortune, but it tastes identical to a Saf Lager 34/70 and it has a neutral flavor, you can ferment it without pressure too or with pressure, this is meant to be a huge game changer, If you go onto Lallemand website you will see it. Cheers 🍺
Thanks for the heads up. That does sound interesting to try once I can find it too.
@@BEERNBBQBYLARRY Kegland UA-cam channel interviewed a man from Lallemand and they spoke all about it, treat it as a ale yeast with or without pressure, we are yet to get it down here, meant to be mid Summer, which it is now and they still have none, I have heard good reports
As a german I have the urge to strangle someone when I see him or her drinking beer out of red plastic cups. Transparent cups... ok, but red ones?
Beer looks good though, the food too, but RED PLASTIC CUPS?
So, I did my part in being a grumpy german (when it comes to red plastic cups) and wish you a happy belated birthday ;)
I think we ran out of the clear cups. lol
