Drinking in Boston: Oktoberfest and Other Harvest Beers

Nip in the air, colors on the leaves, new television episodes on the tube: all in a bottle! Yes, it’s time for harvest ales and Oktoberfests. Again, we at Bostonist sacrificed a whole evening to test some of this season’s offerings. These are the results.

Sometimes there's a pot of gold at the rainbow's end of an internet rumor. Other times, it's a keg of beer.

First, for those of you who missed the Harpoon Octoberfest, or were just too lazy to stand outside on a beautiful night sipping delicious beer, allow us to give you some solid facts on which to build an image of the gloriousness you missed--other than great Oktoberfestbier

So, it’s finally October and the big fest in Munich is already winding down. If you’re one of the many of us who can’t just pick up and fly to Germany for the last four days of the official Oktoberfest, don’t fret. Many Americans think the beer party is actually in October, understandably, so there are still several fests to attend!

The Germans have a word for the weak who pass out in the middle of Oktoberfest celebrations: Bierleichen, or beer corpses. We have faith that our readers are strong enough (and can hold enough liquor) to tackle to Munich’s magnificent fête and its official beer. Es ist Zeit partei, meine Freunde!
