Maifest is a seasonal specialty beer offered in the spring months.

In celebration of the spirit of the Hofbrauhaus and the Maibock style, we proudly offer August Schell's Maifest beer.

Ben R says excellent brew
April 9th, 2008
Before I picked up the Schell’s Maifest I hadn’t tried a maifest beer in a couple years because I thought the last time I tried one I didn’t really like it. My tastes must have changed since then because I think this beer is great. I’m not a fan of wheat beers, which is what I thought maifest would be, but it says on the bottle that its a ‘full bodied blond double bock’ which sounds like how it tastes.
