Beer Fests

It’s time once again for Oktoberfest and Festbiers!

Lisa, Carolyn, Erica and Katie talk lederhosen and drindl, and survey the autumn beer festival scene across London, Belfast, Texas, Palestine, Ukraine, Seattle, Cork and Dublin. They’ve got pro tips - pockets and extra toilet roll - and a bit of style discussion and historical trivia. Can you name the big six brands of Oktoberfest beers before our hosts do?

Grab your dubiously acquired glassware and elbow your way in. Prost!
