Beer Release: Marzen, Chuckanut Brewery

On March 5th, Chuckanut Brewery releases its Märtzen. This is a traditional beer style with an interesting provenance. Read about it. Here are the release notes from Chuckanut Brewery & Kitchen:

Chuckanut Brewery & Kitchen, at 601 W Holly, Bellingham, will be tapping into their production of Märzen (“March” in German) Lager on Friday, March 6 at 5 p.m. to celebrate the arrival of March. Chuckanut Märzen is a celebration of the coming of spring and nicer weather. It’s a lager beer that is deep in toasty malt aroma, with an almost spicy flavor complemented by a beautiful deep golden color.

Märzen emerges from fermentation medium bodied and incomparably smooth with a round and slightly sweet palate. The Märzen beer has an appetizing bitterness that serves to balance the sweetness rather than challenge the malt base. At the strength of 5.6% ABV it’s slightly stronger than Pilsner, but not as strong as the winter Bock. The balance between a bread-like, malty, sweetness and a firm bitterness makes traditional Märzen one of the most tantalizing of beers. 

Char-broiled steaks, vegetables, and pork make a great accompaniment to Märzen. Pizzas, burgers, and macaroni and cheese work very well with Märzen too. And don’t forget to enjoy Chuckanut Märzen with any kind of spicy sausages or Thai food!
