We're so busy festin' this year that we had to do an extra episode to work in our annual Oktoberfest blind beer tasting.  But, we're dedicated so we made it happen.We (OK, Brian) grabbed 5 German and 5 American takes on the the Festbier and Marzen styles and we blind tasted them and picked our favorites.  In keeping with tradition we had some big, soft pretzels (praise be to QT) and some brats, and a bit of fish dip.  We enjoyed these before and after tasting so we didn't mess up our delicate palates, and had some plain crackers and coffee to clear out our taste and smell.As always, this was a fun show to do.  Hard to argue with drinking through some great Oktoberfest beers.  There were some definite surprises this year, and a few that performed as expected.  Prost!The Beer List (In alphabetical order)Ayinger Oktober Fest-Märzen -  MärzenBell's Octoberfest Beer - MärzenHacker-Pschorr Oktboberfest Märzen - MärzenHofbräuhaus München Hofbräu Oktoberfestbier - FestbierPaulaner Oktboberfes
