Origins
Introducing Marvin the Marzen – a homage to the time-honored German-Style Marzen, also known as Oktoberfest. This beer is an embodiment of rich maltiness harmoniously balanced with a touch of clean hop bitterness, reminiscent of the renowned Vienna lager. The name Marvin the Marzen holds a dual significance for us. Firstly, it pays tribute to our brewery's visionary owner, Marvin Bowe, whose unwavering commitment to crafting exceptional, historically-rooted beer of the finest caliber drives our endeavors. While also playfully nodding to his cherished childhood character, the beloved Martian figure who has captured the affections of generations.
