A special Festbier is brewed every year for the Windhoek Oktoberfest. You can expect an easy drinking beer, suitable to the season and perfect for the event. The distinguished characteristics of this year’s Festbier are a palatable malty body and a subtle hoppy bitterness with an elevated alcohol content of 5.8%. The aroma is rather biscuit-like than fruity with a low but noticeable hop flavour. In some regions of Germany this Festbier would be called a “Märzen”, which is also somewhat darker, sweeter, stronger and maltier compared to a “Lager”.
Hansa Draught is the original Namibian on tap offering, originating in the early 1900’s and still Namibia’s favorite draught on tap. Hansa Draught has an alcohol content of 4% making it the perfect choice for those long summer days. Brewed using only malted barley, hops and water in accordance with the Reinheitsgebot purity law of 1516. Enjoy a cold one, prost!
