Oktoberfest Teil zwei

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.

It is Oktoberfest

Ah October, when a young man's fancy turns to beer. Or something like that.
Anyway October is here. Leaves are turning, if you live in northeast, the weather is getting a bit nippier, football is in full swing, and Oktoberfest brews are upon us.
I plan on drinking as many different kind of Oktoberfest offerings as possible this month.
First up, the best, at least according to my beer people. That would be the Oktoberfest from Ayinger, a fine German brewery. And of course one would assume the Germans would make a fine Oktoberfest, having invented the style. I think. Hell it sounds good, so let's say they did.
This is a fine 'Toberfest: Crisp, airy, just the right amount of bitterness, it tastes like a fall day. I can sense fresh grains, toasted malt, clean, Teutonic air. I highly recommend it.
