It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Beer: Schnaitl Bräu

Tonight's beer advent calendar selection is Schnaitl Bräu, a festbier from Privatbrauerei Schnaitl and the first Austrian beer in the calendar.  The brewery is located in Egglesberg, which is about 25 miles north of Salzburg, and a little more than 10 miles east of the German border.  Festbiers are the style served at Oktoberfest, and they are generally malty and higher in alcohol content than a typical lager.  This one is pretty representative of Oktoberfest-style biers, only it was a half liter too small.

Good for drinking if:  You're watching your alma mater beat a ranked team after you spent much of the evening battling your five-year-old son about going to swimming class, but winning in the end, if you consider having to take your five-year-old son to swimming class on a Tuesday night winning.
