Brier Creek Brixx Oktoberfest Tasting

Thursday October 15th, Brixx Brier Creek will be hosting an Oktoberfest themed tasting, with 8 different Oktoberfest style beers. Four will be on draft, and four additional bottles will be available as well. The price will be $5 for four tasters. Additionally they will have "Oktoberfest themed food" available to pair with the beers.

This will be a great chance to do some side by side tasting with a traditional German style lager. You can compare the German brewed ones with American interpretations. Which one will you like better?

We'll let them have a pass on the fact that Oktoberfest is actually in the weeks leading up to Oktober, not actually in the middle of Oktober.
