If you haven’t made any Fest Festival plans for September / October, might I suggest the HOPtoberfest at 38 Degrees? The Alhambra hosts this event on October 21st and they will be “pouring a few dozen of the freshest hoppy ales (IPA,Double IPA,Pale Ales) alongside German inspired Festbiers.”
You can order up a flight or full pours to enjoy with some Octoberfest inspired menu items to get you in the Germanic mood.
