E335: Annual Oktoberfest Blind Beer Tasting

Break out the Festbiers and Marzens

We made it another year to one of our favorite shows, it's time to taste Oktoberfests!  12 beers, 6 guys, pretzels and brats and kraut.  Good times.

Nothing fancy here, we're not BJCP judges or Sissyrones, we just know what we like.  We sample the beers and pick our Top 3 based solely on how much we enjoy them.

We also share some stats and fun facts about Oktoberfest in Munich.  Origins, changes in the beer, and the rules for serving your beer at Oktoberfest.
