This week, we’re lightening things up a bit and cleansing our palates of the hoppy IPA and DIPA we’ve been crushing over the last month, and wheat beer sounded like the perfect beverage to welcome the warming SoCal weather. This week, we brought our own individual offerings to our virtual table and are featuring 13 different beers made with wheat. It’s kind of surprising how diverse wheat beer can actually be.

We say this a lot, but it’s really fun to experiment with one style of beer. You can really see how versatile beer can be when you do this. Different brewers interpret styles in their own ways, and wheat beer really showcases the exciting diversity in the world of craft beer.

Editor’s note: this last paragraph will just remain as-is for future posts until this lockdown is over.

We hope you’re safe. We know this sucks right now. We miss our friends and family, socializing, and even going for a run without having to wear a mask, but this is temporary and staying at home as much as possible, while also keeping our distance from others in public, is something we must all do. That being said, we live in a great time in history where we have a robust internet that allows us all to stay in contact, see each other’s faces, and even get together once a week for a virtual happy hour.

We’ll be recording episodes once a week from here out, which is actually pretty cool for those who normally can’t make it to our typical monthly recording sessions. We’ll be having guests on the show, trying new beers, and continuing to keep doing our thing the best we can. Thanks for sticking with us. We’ll get through this.

Now, on with the show!

BREW THE SHIT OUT OF IT.
WASH YOUR HANDS.
WEAR A MASK.
DON’T BE AN ASSHOLE.

[S2/E37] Litres of Oktoberfest

Season 2, Episode 37 This week, we’re drinking a hell-of-a-lot of Oktoberfest and Märzen style beers. Prost!

It’s that time of year again…Oktoberfest! This year, we’re not fucking around. While there are many, many interpretations of “Octoberfest” beers out there, we decided to find as many as locally possible and just go for it.

This week, we’re drinking 14 different Oktoberfest and Märzen-style beers from around the country and from Germany itself. While not all of them can be considered official “Oktoberfest” labeled beers, they all are brewed to celebrate than annual German tradition that is Oktoberfest. This year, Oktoberfest runs from September 19 thru October 4 in Munich, Bavaria, Germany.

We’re not going to spend any time on this post…there are 14 friggin’ beers on the show this week. Grab your dimpled mug and drink along.
