The Journey Has Ended
We have completed the circle of midwestern Hobrauhauses, with a couple extra bier venue visits. While Barley Man is absent from this picture at Hofbrauhaus Newport, he did visit during our brief recuperation in Dayton.

Less than two weeks away... Questions Remain
Less than two weeks until the trip of a lifetime.. Oktoberfest Analysts are wondering:
1. How many beers will be drunken total during the trip?
2. How many beers will Flyin Dan leave half full?
3. How many times will Doppleboch say" Good god, that's horrible!"... or something to that effect.
4. Will sheep be present at Flyin Dan's farm? Will the lambs look like Flyin Dan?
5. How may different law enforcement jurisdictions will the crew personally encounter?
6. Sausages or Hendl?.. at some point, it won't matter.
7. Will the team stay away from discussing politics for 8 whole days???
8. In what form will Einfahrt appear, spiritual only?
9. Will Chugger go over Niagara Falls in a beer keg?
10. And the final question: Who the fuck is Alice?

In honor of the 2021 immergence of the cicadas in the Midwest (and our inability to execute the original Bier Immersion Tour), the intrepid Oktoberfestians will not be beat down.

Hofbräuhaus Cleveland
Hofbräuhaus Columbus
Riggs Beer Company
Hofbräuhaus St. Louis
Bavarian Bierhaus Nashville
Hofbräuhaus Newport

Oktoberfest 2021 Cancelled
Oktoberfest 2021 ist kaput!
UPDATE 1-German Oktoberfest canceled again due to COVID (msn.com)
Sorry to see this happen, but predicted. There may be hope for a beer tour, but things have to get a whole lot better in Europe.

There Might Be Hope Afterall !
While not official yet, it looks like the EU will be allowing travel from the U.S. for vaccinated people. Even if no Oktoberfest, we will need to decide on travel.

Happy Easter Fellow Oktoberfestians
In honor of this day I thought I would test your bier knowledge. What does bier have to do with little bunnies and chocolate eggs you may ask. Well, the bunnies have fluffy white tails and our bier has some fluffy white foam. So my question for you is about the foam on our bier.
Why is the foam white?
Please, no Google, Bing, Yahoo or Duck-Duck-Go. Try your best and let's see who can answer this age old question.
