Grit And Grain Episode 204: What Month is Oktoberfest?

September 4, 2026

Its September!  Which means it’s time for Oktoberfest, right?  We’re pretty sure that’s how that works. …

Either way, among all the fresh hops and pumpkin ales gracing the doorway to fall, sits the most historical seasonal style, and we wanted to dedicate an hour to it!

This week the team sat down talk all the ins and outs of Oktoberfest.  From where and why it started, to historical versions of the styles, the permeation of pale festbiers, and some dos and don’ts if you’re attending the real deal festival in Munich.

Tune in for the regular scheduled silliness, some fun facts about the annual beer festival, and get a snapshot of the local Oktoberfest calendar courtesy of Ron!
