The results: Has the Great Melting Pot caught
up to its German ancestor with the 197-year head
start when it comes to Oktoberfest brewing? All
six beers showed a great amount of style
diversity, and we found the color and
accompanying taste variation in the German
offerings a nice surprise. Overall, you can't go
wrong with any of the above. Grab a bottle of
your favorite, some landjager or leberkäse with
required sauerkraut and brown mustard, and do a
little polka for dessert.
