Oktoberfest officially began at MNBeer.com at midnight at on Friday/Saturday. Of course the folks behind MNBeer didn’t have the good sense to consume any German beer, so you’ll have to forgive us.

Instead, we opted to drink some English beer and automate the Events page. We’re still tweaking things, but it works, so feel free to contact us with any upcoming events.

Next weekend marks a few cool events… our favorite being Autumn Brew Review from 1-7pm on Saturday at Peavy Plaza in Minneapolis. Of course that’s not all… Oktoberfest in New Ulm begins, the Beer Good Bus Tour II is taking place on Saturday and Sunday and Boreal Brewers is having a tasting in downtown Bemidji. Good stuff… good beer.
