“Oachkatzlschwoaf” is apparently some kind of Eastern European inside joke. Pronounced “oh-kut-zel-shvoaf,” it literally translates to “tail of a squirrel” in German.

Before you give yourself a headache thinking too hard about why that’s funny, there’s only one kind of Oachkatzlschwoaf you need to know here in the U.S. — Urban Chestnut’s annual Marzen-style Lager!

“O-Katz” has a tail — er, tale, of its own. The Festbier gets its incredibly well-balanced flavor from brewery founder Florian Kuplent, who comes from Germany and learned his trade in Bavaria. 

The beer’s bready maltiness, hints of toasted caramel, and whispers of florals are so tasty and true to style, it beat out European-made renditions to snag Gold Medals at both the Brussels Beer Challenge and the World Beer Championships!

Munich’s real Oktoberfest may be canceled again this year, but you can still sing some Bavarian drinking songs with this sipper in hand. You’re getting one of the most authentic Festbiers the U.S. has to offer!

As they say in Germany, ‘prost!’ Or, apparently, if you want to be funny, ‘Oachkatzlschwoaf!’ 

“Urban Chestnut is surely America’s best German-style brewery.” —Food & Wine Magazine, when they declared O-Katz one of the Best American Oktoberfest Beers ever.
