American Octoberfest

Posted by John in Festivals, General

Thoughts can turn into things or in this case an event. Back in August, I had a thought of having a party involving malty lagers, smoked meat, and crisp Autumn air.

Well, we had that party last Sunday. Here are some photos:

The Oktoberfest didn’t make it but we had a superb brown porter and a sparkling malted hard cider (marked with the apple above the tap). I smoked a fresh pork shoulder and fried up some chicken. Had some pretzels and some good mustard. The weather was great but the yellow jackets weren’t.

A good time for sure…and a good showcase for homebrewing.

    I have to say, the party was a success! Food was great, Beer, I’m sure was great, but being preggo, couldn’t enjoy it. Thanks for the photo of me and my large preggo bottom!
