From the label

“Label explicitly states 'STYLE: Lager' with 'Festzelt' as the beer name. The name 'Festzelt' (German for 'festival tent') combined with the lager designation and 5.9% ABV strongly indicates an Oktoberfest/Märzen-style lager. This is a keg collar for a draft product. The producer statement reads 'THE PRODUCT IN THIS KEG BREWED & PACKED BY GREAT CENTRAL BREWING COMPANY, CHICAGO, IL' indicating self-production.”
