real beer, not Buttwater...err I mean Budweiser

depends, the U.S. sells all kinds at their fests. In germany, it may actually be called lager, i dont know.

It could be anything that they put in a keg. It's up to who is serving it and where in the world you are as to what kind they get. Ask the next time If you want to know what kind you are drinking. I find after I am drunk it really doesn't matter. Just keep it coming.

There are lots of different beers that they serve at Oktoberfests. Most of them are German imports on tap.

Believe it or not one of the classes of beer that they serve at an Oktoberfest is oktoberfest.

The beer most commonly served at oktoberfests is called a marzen...

The beer that gets served at oktoberfest in germany is beer made from the four main german breweries.

Spaten is one of the popular ones in the US, its alcohol content can reach 8% depending on what type of Spaten that you ordered.

They serve whatever they can sell, because its about money now...
But before the invention of refrigeration you could only make Ale (Lager is brewed at a lower temperature that need a refrigeration system...). So when the summer was coming you could not make beer for a few months (too Warm), so the clever German brewed as much as they could, storing it during summer... As soon as beer production was possible again (around October) the only thing you could do was to finish the stock of the beer stored for summer (usually a stronger beer to keep better)...
Oktoberfest Was born!!!
