Happy Friday beer fans! Get yourself a cold one and join, in spirit at least, the granddaddy of all beer festivals.
Eins, zwei, g'suffa!
I've been to Munich several times (worked for Siemens for years) but never during Oktoberfest. If you've been, tell us about it.
Here at FNBB we have several fall season traditions; I'm certain to mention Oktoberfest, insult pumpkin beer, and talk about the pairing of beer with football. At the intersection of bad football, bad beer and bad bosses we have: Washington Keeps Serving Fans Skunked World Cup Beer
As if anyone needed another reason to hate Dan Snyder, it turns out that fans at FedEx Field have been getting served beer left over from a 2014 World Cup promotion. The shit isn't exactly fresh.
Pics with the Deadspin article show a bottling date of 6/14. I don't think they're correct to say the over-age beer is "skunked" though, I believe that specific flavor is from light-struck beer and this is in one of those weird aluminum "bottles" which definitely would exclude light. It's a blue "bottle" so I think it's Bud Light. Some of us might argue that fans of the Washington Racists don't deserve any better...
I've got one Lagunitas Maximus IPA, and some TJ's Tap 79 IPA (canning date 8/26). What are you drinking? Who's brewing?
