Oktoberfesting Across America - via AHA

Be very still. Listen. Do you hear it? It’s a sure sign of autumn.

No, not the falling leaves. Not the crunch of football helmets either. Listen. There, there it is. An accordion. A tuba. A shout of O’zapft is!, followed by the clinking of glasses. It’s time for Oktoberfest!

In the Sept/Oct issue of Zymurgy, we highlight a few Oktoberfest celebrations in Beeroscope, including the big one in Munich. But we obviously couldn’t include them all—there’s only so much space in the magazine. Here, then, is a festive assortment of October festivals to represent every U.S. state and the District of Columbia.

Some are huge Bavarian-style blowouts. Others are small afternoon gatherings. Still others are bona fide craft beer festivals in their own right. No matter where you live, there’s a festival nearby guaranteed to get you in the mood for fall. So get out there and enjoy.

Prost!
