Strong, amber-colored Marzenbier is the traditional beer served at Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany. But it's now found only in the United States.

In Germany, not just any beers are served at Oktoberfest - the festive brews are rather specific, and quite different from American "Oktoberfest beers."

The festival takes place in Munich every year, at Theresienwiese, a 100-acre fairground space in the city’s Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt district, near the Old Town. Believe it or not, Oktoberfest isn’t actually considered a beer festival in Germany – instead, it’s a folksy celebration popular among families as well as those after a stein or two.
