I hope everyone enjoyed their Labor Day holiday. I know I enjoyed all the events that were in Waukesha over the weekend and seeing Bruce Springsteen play a marathon show on Saturday night.
As we all recover from the roar of the Harleys, warm weather and the end of a very quick summer, I have to inform you that "Fall is Here". I will try and keep that quiet. With the flip of the calender to September it also indicates the beginning of the Octoberfest season for beer. The Octoberfest traditon dates back to the original Octoberfest in Munich Germany in 1810 celebrating the marriage of Prince Ludwig. That festival continues to be held in Munich every year and the guests on average consume 5.5 million liters of beer every year.
For us in Wisconsin, it is a celebration of the arrival of fall. There are a lot of fall festivals that will be beginning shortly all across Southeast Wisconsin. Here is a quick list of some of the great seasonal beers that have arrived or due to arrive shortly.
Leinenkugel Octoberfest
Blue Moon Pumpkin
Hacker Pschorr Octoberfest (Munich Germany)
Paulaner Octoberfest (Munich Germany)
Hofbrau Octoberfest (Munich Germany)
Sam Adams Octoberfest
Capital Brewery Octoberfest (Middleton Wisconsin)
Point Octoberfest (Stevens Point Wisconsin)
Lakefront Octoberfest (Milwaukee)
Bells Octoberfest (Michigan)
Tyranena Octoberfest (Lake Mills)
Great Lakes Octoberfest (Ohio)
Enjoy some of these great beers and let me know your favorite "fall" beer.
Cheers,
Dave
