About Schell's Maifest
Maifest is a seasonal specialty beer offered in the spring months. It is brewed with a blend of three different specialty malts and the finest imported and domestic hops, in the tradition of Munich's Hofbrauhaus Maibock. Considered by the locals as the birthplace of the Bock beer style, the Hofbrauhaus brews different versions of Bock beer at several points during the year. Most important of these is their Maibock or Maifest beer. The Prime Minister of Bavaria and the Mayor of Munich are quite likely to take part in the tapping of the first huge barrel of Maibock each year, as they celebrate the end of winter and the promise of warmer weather. Maifest has a very large hop aroma, is smooth to the palate, and a unique malty sweetness than our other varieties. In celebration of the spirit of the Hofbrauhaus and the Maibock style, we proudly offer August Schell's Maifest beer.
