Should the state government run a brewery?
Brew – Hofbräu Oktoberfestbier 6.3% ABV, 500ml
Brewer – Staatliches Hofbräuhaus
Style – Marzen / Oktoberfest
Country – Germany
Purchased – LCBO
In 1589 Wilhelm V, the Duke of Bavaria, was dissatisfied with the beers brewed in Munich. His advisors had the bright idea to build their own brewery. Hofbräuhaus was born. Skip forward to today and Hofbräuhaus is still owned by the state government.
About the Beer – It pours a light golden colour with an appreciable head. The smell is very light and grainy. Very similar to a pale lager(not a good thing). The taste is very boring. Sweet malt to start with a very dry finish. Only a hint of hops.
Would I Drink it Again? – No, boring, boring, boring. Not much to distinguish this beer! It also does not resemble the description of the style at all.

I know….I guess they figure taxing us at the LCBO is enough!
