‘Tis the season for Oktoberfest! But not everyone has the temperature-controlled facilities to produce a truly and traditionally lagered Marzen-style beer. That’s okay. Chop & Brew found a workaround thanks to mother/son brew team Judi & Ryan Schenian. They had the great idea to brew an Oktoberfest beer, but to ferment it with a German Ale yeast. Come along for the brewday and tasting notes that will have you wanting to brew your own Aletoberfest (or Mocktoberfest, Altoberfest, Fauxtoberfest, etc.). [Original postdate: September 18, 2013]
