Tap List | Oktoberfest Blind Taste Test

October 1, 2019  |    |  1 min read

 

Celebrate the last week of Oktoberfest with a blind taste test by Kansas City beer enthusiast Cassie Niemeyer. We gave her three Oktoberfest-style beers from three different local breweries.

See which one was her favorite and get the chance to make a well-educated decision before going out and buying your next Oktoberfest lager. What is your favorite Oktoberfest beer to drink this season?
