TODAY MARKS THE 38TH ANNIVERSARY
Of Missing Oktoberfest In Munich. I’m Not Happy – I’m Not Over It – I’m Not There.
This Year I Have Another Excuse For Missing My Only True Bucket List – Letzte Wunschliste – Item.
The Planet’s Largest Volksfest Is Cancelled. It Should Be As Obvious Is The Answer To Why 6 Million Celebrants Should Stay Home.
So, I Will Netflix & Chill My Way Through The Next Two Weeks. Yeppers … Bratwurst & Sauerkraut – Get My Schnitzel On – Nosh On Chewy Pretzels.
I’LL PROBABLY ENJOY A BEER
Definitely-Not-Pumpkin-Spiced – A True Beer That Rhymes With Erdinger Dunkel Weissbier – Best Illustrated By The Product Descriptions I’ve Lifted Straight From The LCBO:
“Deep black/brown color with thick head; aromas of coffee, toasted malt, caramel, spice and banana; medium-bodied and well carbonated, with a velvety texture; toasted malt, dried fruit and spicy notes on the finish.”
“This elegant wheat beer has a lustrous, deep dark-brown appearance in the glass. The first sip reveals a harmonious symphony of carefully selected wheat and barley malts with exquisite Hallertau aroma hops. The taste buds detect hints of caramel, nuts and fresh bread. An unmistakable top-fermenting accent is provided by ERDINGER’s traditional yeast.”
And My 42nd Favorite Blogger … Me:
“As Above … The Perfect Weekend Breakfast Beer … Pairs Well With Camembert & Pears, Or Obatzda – My Lips – And Tummy. Best Enjoyed Responsibly With Company – Now Or Whenever – 100% Pepita-Free. Christmas In A Brown Bottle. Occasionally Available In My Cantina.”
I’ll Be Donning Traditional Tracht … Waxing Back To My Faux Austrian Roots – My Maternal Grandmother Was Born In Austria Of Ukrainian Heritage – Close Enough For Me, Ancestry.
And, Visit Das Schmitt Haus – Hans Jr.‘s Joint Up In Hali (Northern Ontario) – Like I Said I Would, But Haven’t, Yet. He’s Reading This.

The craft beer movement in The US is just about the only thing I’m proud of these days. But, enjoy an old-fashioned one, friend. Cheers.🕊

I bet pumpkin spice and Goldschläger would get along very well together.
