Changes

In 1872, Spaten made history by introducing an amber coloured Vienna style beer at Munich's Oktoberfest, named Märzenbier. The [[Märzenbier]] became an instant success when it was first sold in the Schottenhamel Festzelt as the normal usual beer had ran sold out of supply. The popular Märzenbier became known as [[Oktoberfestbier]] and eventually changed to the pale golden and slightly stronger Helles (lager) which is still today sold during the Oktoberfest.
