Sierra Nevada 2020 Festbier Grist
« on: August 15, 2021, 10:17:16 am »
It appears that Sierra Nevada is brewing yet another take on American-style Marzen this year.  I am not a fan of style.  It is too sweet and bland. I prefer the more festbier-oriented offering that they brewed last year.  Does anyone remember the grist composition?

I haven't had it this year. I usually find their take is more traditional than the other standard fare.

I took the day off from work and brewed my festbier today.  I went with a grist composed of Pilsner, Vienna, and CaraHell malts. I used whole cone Mittelfruh for bittering and late additions.

I don’t think the 21 is too shabby. Not as Americanized as I was expecting. Also I think the American breweries are adapting to more traditional ingredients/methods. I definitely prefer prior years though.
