Another Ale Jail Tasting

By on September 20, 2010in beer events, beer stores, free beer

Tuesday is approaching (or here, depending on when you read this) so that means it’s time for another Ale Jail tasting. Autumn beers are flooding our market right now, so that means it’s time to drink some Oktoberfest beers.

Adam will crack open various American brewed Oktoberfests including Lake Superior, Bells, Left Hand, Flying Dog, Schell’s and Summit, as well as some some German versions from the likes of Ayinger and Weissenhoe (brewed by German monks).

It’s sure to be a good time, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there are a few surprises in store.
