And we are now getting full swing into our Oktoberfest drinking. It is a like a fat, lazy lumbering person waking up from a long sleep; we start off a little slow in the beginning, but once we get up and running nothing can stop us.
Oktoberfest in Germany actually mostly takes place in September, but that it a trivial occurrence. This is America, dammnit, and we will celebrate our Octoberfest's whenever we please; even in April if need be.
And in that spirit, may I recommend a fine American Oktoberfest brew for you? Listen, I know this is a time for German beers to shine, and I gave you a great German 'Toberfest selection last post, and there will be more of that.
But let's give Long Island's Bluepoint Brewing co. a shout out. They have a fine Oktoberfest offering, and a uniquely American one.
It has a rich, copper color, for those who care about those things, and a nice, sweet, malty taste. It kind of tastes like an "Americanized" Oktoberfest, and I don't mean that in a disparaging way. It just feels a tad more citrusy than a Germanic Oktoberfest. But we are Americans, and we like things our way.
Coming shortly: More reviews of German Oktoberfest offerings.
