Hi All,
I hold an annual Oktoberfest BBQ just for sake of doing so. This years will be the third event in a row and the previous two have gone over well with friends.
Interested to hear your opinions for what beers you would have available for such an event (and recipes as well - all grain).
For the past events I've had the following on tap:
At the first event, the Oktoberfest was the favourite and the keg was demolished, last year it was my last minute quasi-Kolsch (fermented with US-05, so not authentic).
I've decided to do an Oktoberfest (duh!!), Dunkel & lager but am unsure about the rest. I have an Oktoberfest & Dunkel recipe that I'm very happy with and am drinking a lager that isn't too bad (pale lagers are always the hardest to nail!!).
Previously the Weizens have met with up-turned noses by most when given a sample and not sure how a genuine Kolsch will go over.
So, what would you brew for such an occaision?
