9/30/25: Spaten Oktoberfest Ur-Märzen
We've reached the end of Oktoberfest season. Tomorrow, we turn to a new page on the calendar, one that's darker, spookier, pumpkinier. But, for now, the sun's shining, the grass is browning, and insects and birds are making music. It's still September and still prime time for an Oktoberfest beer. To honor the closure of this season of the blog, we're doing a beer from Germany, as is tradition. Spaten is one of the "Big Six" Oktoberfest breweries because they're one of the original Munich breweries that offers their lager at the official celebration. Today, we're drinking Spaten's Oktoberfest Ur-Märzen. Prost ! Spaten (full name Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu) is one of those illustrious breweries whose history goes back centuries. According to "The Spaten Story," the brewery traces its lineage back to 1397 (nearly six-hundred years before the Salem Witch Trials), when a Munich tax document listed a brewer as the owner of the place where Spaten would operate. Through the coming ages, Spa

9/28/25: Northern Row's Schwester
This is the penultimate Oktoberfest post of 2025, which features a lager I picked up in July. It's been sitting in my fridge since, waiting patiently for this evening. So, let's go. Here's Northern Row's take on an Oktoberfest lager: Schwester. Northern Row's located in Cincinnati, OH's Over-the-Rhine. They're focused on crafting innovative beer out of their home in a pre-Prohibition brewery stock house. You can find a little more info over on their "Northern Row Beer" page . If you explore their website, you'll also find that they distill spirits. Schwester (located on the page hyperlinked in the above paragraph) is a 5.6% ABV festbier brewed in collaboration with Meckesheim, Germany's Schumi's Mecksebräu . For those wondering, the connection with Meckesheim is that it's the sister city of Harrison (a city just west of Cincinnati). The nose on my can is subdued. All the same, what little I find is clean, hoppy, biscuity, and bready. That's all there is to it. There isn't any malt

9/19/25: Wandering Monsters Brewery's Ludwig
Today's beer is one I picked up on a whim this week (meaning it wasn't originally slated for this month!). Michelle and I took the time to finally head to Wandering Monsters, one of the newest breweries in our area. I had a pour of their Oktoberfest and enjoyed it so much that I nabbed a few bottles of it to bring home. Yes, this isn't the first time I'm drinking Ludwig. However, I'm excited to sit and really mull it over. Will I like it as much from the bottle as I do on tap? Let's find out! Wandering Monsters opened their doors in Cincinnati's Anderson Township in July, 2023 (man, it took us a good damn while to get over to them!). It's headed by Jason Brewer, who worked at the now-(unfortunately-)defunct Listermann Brewing Company before branching out to found Wandering Monsters. The brewery's truly family friendly (unlike other breweries that claim to be but really aren't). Zac Boehnke, the brewing mastermind at also now-defunct Braxton Labs, is Wandering Monsters' head b

9/18/25: Three Floyds' Brewing Co.'s Munsterfest
I'd intended to get this post up a few weeks ago. Back then, the air was chilly and crisp. There was that distinctive autumnal aroma on the breeze. It would've been perfect for the blog to ring in Oktoberfest season. Alas, I waited too long. Now, we're back to 90-degree days with air quality alerts. It's still summer, and the weather wants us to know it. But hey, at least it's a good day for a lager! I'm doing up Three Floyds Munsterfest today. I bought it primarily for the label--I, much like my toddler, love Godzilla. Let's see if this Oktoberfest-style lager is just label-temptation or the real deal! Since it's been nearly six years since Three Floyds last graced the blog, let's talk about them for a bit. The brewery got its start in Hammond, IN back in 1996 when Nick Floyd began brewing on a mishmash of equipment. After getting a few renowned beers under the Three Floyds flag, the operation expanded to Munster, IN in 2001 and opened a brewpub in '04. Since then, the brewery's
