It’s stein season.
This year, we’re bringing an authentic taste of Germany to California through our exclusive Oktoberfest collaboration with Mahrs Bräu, the legendary Bamberg brewery with 356 years of brewing tradition.
Brewed with fully German ingredients, apart from the water in our brewhaus, this Festbier is rooted in centuries of heritage and a shared connection between family-run breweries built on craftsmanship and tradition.
For this year’s Oktoberfest, we went straight to the source. We teamed up with Mahrs Bräu, the family-owned Bamberg brewery with 356 years of history and generations of German lager know-how. Our friendship goes back nearly a decade, and this Festbier is where it finally landed: a beer built on shared respect for tradition, craftsmanship, and above all, drinkability.
We brewed it with Bamberger Pilsen malt, the same malt Mahrs Bräu uses in its own lagers, along with German Hallertau Tradition and Hersbrucker hops. A long, cold lager fermentation keeps it crisp, smooth, and remarkably drinkable, even with a little extra strength behind it.
Think modern Munich Festbier: full-flavored, balanced, and made for another round.
“Stephan, from Mahrs Bräu, met up with the Firestone crew in Munich at Oktoberfest a few years back, and the idea for our Festbier collab was born out of a mutual love of the full flavor and drinkability of the beers being poured.” Sam Tierney, Brewer
Prost!
Get ready to raise a stein, or however many you can hold, to a celebration that spans generations and continents. Stay tuned for more details about our upcoming Oktoberfest celebration at the Propagator in Venice…
