Prost!!! Oktoberfest season starts this month and we couldn’t be more excited. September holds many great beer events and hopefully some beautiful weather for outdoor drinking. We can’t wait to drink marzens and festbiers! All the malty, roasty, and even smoky brews await us this month, so make sure you keep an eye on our events calendar for all the cool things we can’t fit into this email. Be sure to tag us as you celebrate National Beer Lovers Day on September 7th, and National Drink Beer Day on the 28th. Cheers!
