The Tree Elf

Der Baumelf is the Märzen beer by Shire Brewing (Porciano, Frosinone, Lazio): one of the brewery’s oldest recipes, born in the times of Castrum Porciani, refined during the 2020 lockdown, and revived in grand style for the Oktoberfest 2024. 5.7% vol., in a 44cl can — best served in a mug or tulip glass between 6 and 8°C.

Fine grain in the recipe: BestPils, BestMunich, BestVienna, Caramunich 1, CarafaSpecial 3, osmotized water, and Magnum and Spalter Select hops. Fermented with a German yeast strain and lagered for a long period. The result is a Märzen with harmonious notes of baked bread, bread crust, and chestnut honey — toasted, caramelized, floral — finishing very cleanly.

Best enjoyed at the table: pairs well with sausage risotto, pappardelle with ragù, lasagna, rotisserie chicken, baked pork loin, grilled skewers, and desserts based on shortcrust pastry or dried fruit.
