Brewed a year ago and lagered. Time is coming to brew it again!

Märzen is traditionally brewed in March because that's what märzen means!

But we don't need to be overly prescriptive, that's no fun!

I'm mostly just jealous because I didn't get to it this year.

That's why I was calling it Märzenfest half year ago. Apparently, or at least the books say so, they were brewing this all winter, for same reasons I do this. But sure, the later brews were probably the ones that mostly survived the thrist period.

That doesn't sound very German of you. :P
