From the September 16, 2015, Kenosha (Wis.) News by Bill Siel.
FROM GERMANY TO WISCONSIN, MANY RAISE A GLASS TO AUTUMN TRADITION.
"Pick a holiday and it's likely you've got a beer of choice to toast the festivities.
"And then there's Oktoberfest, which turns the tables as it IS a beer holiday, one that begins Saturday (September 19th) and ends Oct. 4."
And you get to pick a date to celebrate or do it every day. And your beer as well. Beer Advocate magazine identifies 1,485 beer offerings for Oktoberfest. And these are generally bigger with a more flavorful malt character and a minimum contribution from hops. They are usually amber/reddish hued, but paler, golden varieties are becoming more in vogue.
One of my favorite times as you can also get that good ol' Oompah Music and German food.
More Sips to Come. --Cooter
