E241: 5th Annual Oktoberfest Blind Beer Tasting and Ranking

Oktoberfest brings Festbiers, Märzens, and Mustard Flights

Once again it is time for our annual Oktoberfest blind beer tasting!  We look forward to this show every year and its frequently my first dip into Oktoberfest beers after my self-imposed ban from drinking any before September 1st.  It’s my little way of standing up against seasonal creep.  Just say no to Oktoberfests and pumpkin beers in July.

To help us with this daunting task we invite some of our friends from the industry to help us out.  This year’s judging panel:

• Joe McIntyre | Brewmaster at Scofflaw Brewing Co.
• “Digi-Dude” Nate Hanson | Executive Producer and On-Air Personality at Bailey and Southside on Atlanta’s Rock 100.5
• Nathan Schieber | Renaissance Man.  Nathan has worked at a couple of brewers and can frequently be found collaborating with other brewers in the South.
• Nathan Ellingson (aka “No Mic Nathan”) | Beer Buyer for Vintage Bottle Shop in Acworth, GA and occasional Beer Guys Sound Assistant

That’s right, the studio was 50% Nathans this week.  Weird.  I’m glad that’s over.

We go all out for this show and bring in a bit of a German buffet.  This year we had Brats, a flight of four mustards and pepper kraut made personally by me, some soft pretzels, and various cheeses and pickles.  It was all delicious and a perfect accompaniment to our beers.  We also share a few facts and fun stuff about the Munich Oktoberfest.  If you’re ready to party and need to get in the spirit check out our Spotify Oktoberfest playlist.
