Answer:

Marzen in German is the word for “March,” which means that the beer was traditionally brewed and stored/lagered prior to consumption during harvest festivals. Because the weather could be too hot and beer could spoil in a hurry, German law prohibited the use of beer between the end of April and the end of September.
