Sean Suggests for October 2013

header_beer_shopping_list

For October, the theme is literally seasonal.  Here are three Oktoberfest beers from Germany that I think should be in your ‘fridge instead of pumpkin beers.  So forget the light, medium and dark descriptors.

~LIGHT

AyingerOktober Fest Märzen  5.8% ABV

“…a deep golden color tinted with amber. It is lightly sweet with a malty nose balanced with floral hops. Its medium to big body and alcohol is not overpowering. The soft dryness comes from long maturation.”

~MEDIUM

Hacker-PschorrOktober Fest Märzen 5.8% ABV

“Bavarian barley slow roasted, caramelized to a rich, red amber color combined with the purest spring waters from the Alps, exclusive yeast and the finest Hallertau hops.”

~DARK

Weihenstephaner / Oktoberfestbier 5.8% ABV

“A full rich bodied, hoppy, seasonal lager. Especially brewed for the Festbier season. This beer truly represents the Bavarian way of celebrating. Deep gold color, great mouthfeel and lots of flavor. Prost!”

Sean Suggests for September 2010

September in the world is a transition to cooler weather patterns, unless you are in LA. This is the start of second summer in my book. So my choices for this month are a bastard hybridization of fall and summer with some spring thrown in there for good measure.

So take a look at my light, medium and dark choices from Stone Brewing, Redhook Brewing and Ayinger of Germany!

Prost!
