October 1st

I was lucky enough to grow up in Europe, and as such Oktoberfests have been part of my tradition since, well, since they first let me into the beer garden. I miss that insane, jovial crowd getting together to drink beer and sing off key at 10am. I miss beer steins so heavy they make your arms shake to lift them. I miss crowds of people who really think lederhosen shows of their legs to their best advantage. And I miss the beer. Heavenly, dark, rich and toasty -

So one of the things I’m most excited about in the Ventura County Oktoberfest is the traditional brews. These are special Oktoberfest brews that can only be bought in Germany during Oktoberfest season. The fab organizers of the Ventura County Oktoberfest actually get a selection flown in every year. I don’t know what they are yet, but when I do I’ll be sure and share it here and on twitter
