No Oktoberfest extravaganza tonight, too busy. Canes chicken and Bud Zero..
Been drinking more than a couple of my HB Oktoberfest brews. Enjoy the Season!

Moving things around preparing for a fairly major Upgrayed!

Wild Wineberry Mead/Cider. I picked 10lbs of berries in July and made 1gal cider and 1gal mead, each with half the berries. After racking, I took the dregs from each and combined them. After the yeast settled out for a week, I took the clear portion to drink. Very tart, certainly needs backsweetening. I made half of each batch sparkling and I think that will work really nicely.
Not intended, but having the TV not face the door a big plus. The A/C died in spring so another item needed after the major UPGRAYED with some BIG AZZ FRIES to follow.
Tasty hefe
Are you having problems with your photo orientation too or just making fun of me?
HM blackcurrant wine. The only way I can get the picture to post correctly is take it in landscape. Thoughts?
Local brewpub that contract brews. This is supposed to be a Dopplebock. Cloudy AF blech.
Ayinger is one of my favorites, but I have to say, this beer label really spans the entire Marzen – Oktoberfest – Festbier range of beers. With so much confusion around these three, I think some marketing guy is laughing all the way to the beer vault!
So what is this beer? A Marzen? A Marzen doing duties as an Octoberfest? A Festbier of some type? Let’s break it down. It’s definitely an Oktoberfest/Marzen beer. I wouldn’t call it a Festbier though, however they are grabbing onto that “Festival Lager” moniker on the label. So, I’d call this a “pre-1970’s festival Oktoberfest," maybe like the original Oktoberfests before Festbier by Paulaner came around. Of course Ayinger is outside of the Munich city limits, so it’s really not going to be served at the main event anyway.
Whatever you call it, this is a great beer! Ayinger always comes through. This one is a bit cloudier than some of the others I’ve had, but nonetheless a terrific and traditional 5.8% ABV Marzen. Prost!
