O'zapft Ist!
Oktoberfest is here.
|
It's been here since the 17th, so I would have told you sooner but I've been a little too busy to play Paul Revere with this. And besides, it's not like it's a one-night-only event.
I'm going to save the bulk of this post for a few weeks from now, when Scott, Alison and I are going to form like Voltron to bring you an entire week of beer. It's a triple threat.
In the meantime however, and because I consider myself a philanthropist of alcohol, I'll just leave you with a heads-up on what to look for this season as far as Oktoberfest beers: from the imports section, Spaten makes a decent and well-distributed brew; in the Northeast, the Saranac brewery's ale is a welcome addition; nationally, Sam Adams also puts out an O'fest this time of year, which you can probably find at the local Piggly Wiggly.
Go enjoy, but don't show up to work too hungover. Or if you do, don't blame me this time. I'm sick of the hate mail.
Oh, and since you're probably wondering, the title of this post is German for "The beer is tapped," which is the phrase shouted by the mayor of Munich each year when the first keg is devirginized.

Oh how I love taht picture. :)
Finally I'm home long enough now (new job) so that I can actually celebrate Octoberfest.
Brad- did you hear the rumblings about them making a Voltron movie? The worst thing was that they weren't 100% sure whether or not the individual suits/robots would still be lions. They have to be! Otherwise, it's just the Power Rangers.
