Episode 30 - Marzen in Style

It’s Oktoberfest season so in Episode 30 we review the BJCP style guidelines for Marzen style lagers. We also discuss the recent news of Lagunitas Brewing selling 50% of their brewery to big beer Heineken International, San Diego based brewery Saint Archer selling to Miller Coors and Stone Brewing’s Greg Koch stepping down as CEO. You can prepare for our listener tasting notes segment in Ep31 by picking up the Paulaner Oktoberfest...so join in on the fun by grabbing a bottle or six to taste along with us.
