My nineth official Okotoberfest is from New Belgium Brewing Company out in Colorado! I know this because Otto & I got to tour the facility last year!!!
This Oktoberfest is called Hoptober, which suits it! There is a definite hoppiness that comes through the smell and initial taste! But it passes quickly leaving behind the sweet maltiness that engulfs your tongue. Yum!!!

3rd Anniversary
This is how we celebrate a 3rd Anniversary.
We sleep in and have a leisurely breakfast, we take the puppy hiking at Governor Dodge State Park and have a picnic, followed by an introductory trip to the dog park and a romantic dinner out.
How do we end our evening?!
With Starbucks and a Gigi cupcake!!!
Happy 3rd Anniversary my love!!!

Granite City Brewery
The eighth official Oktoberfest is from Granite City Brewery.
Soft amber color with a good hop to malt ratio! Tastes good with a brat & saurkraut on a cool afternoon! The finish is slightly harsh, but not overly so. I especially love the tappings at Granite City due to the fact that they serve free food if you have a Mug Club Membership! ;)

Bell's Brewery
The seventh official Oktoberfest is from Bell's Brewery and is called Oberon.
This one caught me off guard with the hoppiness bursting forth! It's so hoppy I can barely catch the malty after-taste, which is fine with me, I love hops! The color is a lighter amber, and very clear! I would order it again!

August Schell Brewing Co.
The sixth official Oktoberfest is from the August Schell Brewing Co.
This one has a very harsh flavor, not smooth in any way. Definitely one that over powers everything, including whatever you're eating. Don't think I will be drinking that again, unless there are no other choices!
