Hey Everyone! We are doing our next beer tasting this upcoming Thursday (9/20) from 5:30pm-7:30pm!  We have 4 amazing new Oktoberfest Biers for you to try out: Left Hand- Oktoberfest, Victory’s Festbier, Point’s Oktoberfest and Weyerbacher’s Imperial Pumpkin Ale!

A little information on Oktoberfest Biers and why you will love this style.  In the days before refrigeration, brewing was difficult or impossible in the warm summer months, and March was the time a big brew was made as a supply for summer.  This March or marzen beer was brewed to a fairly high gravity for protection against spoilage as it was stored away in cool cellars or caves.  At the end of the summer, when the new brewing season began, any beer left in storage was ceremoniously consumed.  The pouring of this special marzen coincided with the fall harvest festival, making for one big party.  The traditional German marzen is a medium-strong, reddish amber lager, with a malty body and aroma, which has been lagered, or conditioned, an unusually long time.

So please come and drop in for this long held German tradition!  We hope to see everyone there!
