Raise Your Steins to Gilded Goat’s Festbier: A Marzen Masterpiece
Gilded Goat, a cornerstone of Fort Collins’ vibrant craft beer scene, is excited to announce the return of a seasonal delight that will tantalize the taste buds of beer enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike – the Festbier! Crafted with meticulous care by award-winning brewer Charlie Hoxmeier, PhD., this Marzen-style Oktoberfest beer promises to transport beer aficionados on a flavorful journey that embraces tradition and innovation. At the heart of the Festbier lies a dedication to quality ingredients, and Gilded Goat’s commitment to supporting local agriculture shines through. This exceptional brew is concocted using locally grown and malted barley provided by Root Shoot Malting, a nod to the rich agricultural heritage of the Fort Collins region.
“Crafting our Festbier was a journey fueled by our admiration for the classic Märzen style and a desire to push its boundaries. The addition of malted rye was our way of paying homage to tradition while imparting a new twist that captures the essence of Fort Collins’ dynamic craft beer culture using 100% locally grown and malted grains from Root Shoot.” – Charlie Hoxmeier, PhD.
To honor this creation, Gilded Goat will celebrate “Goatoberfest” at their Midtown location on September 9th where all beer enthusiasts, from the seasoned experts to the curious newcomers, are invited to raise their steins and experience the autumn magic of Festbier! Mug Club members will enjoy a special preview of Festbier on August 17th. The event promises an immersive experience that delves into the brewing process, the story behind Festbier’s inception, and a firsthand opportunity to savor this limited-edition masterpiece.
