Send us Fan Mail It’s Oktoberfest season, which means it’s time to break out the Märzens, Festbiers, oversized mugs, questionable German pronunciations, and our annual blind tasting. This week we put 12 Oktoberfest beers to the test with the labels hidden and our preconceived notions tossed out the window. We’ve got German classics, American staples, local favorites, and a few beers that have been through this particular gauntlet before. Before we start drinking, we talk about what you should...

Send us Fan Mail Oktoberfest season is here, so this week we kick things off with some Oktoberfest beer recommendations. Märzen, Festbier, and plenty of German goodness. Grab your big-ass stein and join us. We’ve also got some rough news from the beer world.

Send us Fan Mail Brian’s A/C is busted, it’s still hot as hell, and somehow Oktoberfest season is already here. So naturally, we kick things off talking about sweating through late summer while drinking beers designed for Fall. We also get into boilermakers this week, including a couple with a nod to Dolly Parton: The Dumb Blonde and The Jolene. From there, beer news gets weird. There’s The Great Pabst Blue Ribbon Heist, which sounds like something we would have made up after a few beers, but...
