Renazzenfest

Renazzenfest — Italian Märzenbier — Birrificio BiRen

Renazzenfest is the Italian version of Märzenbier crafted by Birrificio BiRen. The Märzen-Oktoberfestbier style may be a staple of German tradition, but we proudly remember that the oldest brewery in Munich was founded by Italian monks. To toast this unexpected connection, in the true popular spirit of Oktoberfest, Renazzenfest was born: the Märzenbier that proudly returns to its Italian roots.

The connection between Italy and Oktoberfest

The oldest brewery in Munich — Weihenstephan, founded in 1040 — was established by Benedictine monks of Italian origin. A historic link between Bavarian brewing tradition and Italy that Renazzenfest celebrates with pride and popular spirit.
