  1. A lager originating in Bavaria, which has a medium to full body and may vary in color from pale through amber to dark brown and is traditionally served at the Munich Oktoberfest. countable,uncountable
    — For all of the Oktoberfests to be found around the land, there is still precious little märzen being brewed in North America’s microbreweries. This paucity of märzen is a shame, too, because it is the ideal beer style for the season and is especially appropriate for Oktoberfest celebrations.

词源

From German Märzen(bier) (literally “March beer”). A decree issued in 1553 by Albert V, Duke of Bavaria, forbid all brewing between 23 April and 29 September, preventing brewing during the warm season, when, unbeknown to medievals, ambient bacteria would often infect the Bavarians’ beers and quickly spoil them. Brewers, therefore, worked overtime in March to make enough beer, which was usually brewed slightly stronger than regular beer and stored cool, i.e., lagered, so it would keep better, to last until fall.
