Grodziskie, a traditional Polish beer, dates back to the 14th century or earlier. Brewed using oak-smoked wheat malt, Grodziskie is known for its golden color, high carbonation, and unique smoky flavor. Märzen, on the other hand, is a malty, amber-colored German lager with a smoky character. The origins of Märzen can be traced back to the Bavarian Beer Purity Law of 1516, which led to a shift from brewing with smoked malts to using clean kilning methods for malt production. In response, traditional Rauchbier breweries in Bamberg, Germany, maintained the use of smoked malt as a key ingredient in their beers, preserving the unique flavor profile of smoked beers like Märzen.
