The 91X Beer for Breakfast crew are celebrating Oktoberfest this week. Oktoberfest officially kicks off this weekend in Munich AND San Diego. Societe Brewing is celebrating Oktoberfest today (Saturday) so Brewmaster Paul Segura thought it was the perfect time to enjoy their Fest Bier Oktoberfest Lager (4.6% ABV). Fest Bier is crisp and clean with floral & mineral notes, plus a touch of lemony citrus zest. They then compared the Fest Bier to Karl Strauss Brewing’s Oktoberfest Marzen Lager. KS Oktoberfest (5% ABV) has a darker color and has a maltier taste from the Vienna and Munich malts.

Brewmaster Paul Segura brought in one of San Diego’s OG breweries on Beer for Breakfast this week: Coronado Brewing Co.
They start things off with NADO (4.5% ABV), a Japanese-style lager brewed with jasmine and toasted flaked rice. NADO Japanese Lager has an upfront bitterness that fades into a light grain and rounds out with a dry, subtle finish. They then move onto Big Weekend Double IPA (8.9%ABV). This double IPA features a variety of hops like Mosaic, Citra, and Simcoe for a burst of sweet pineapple and grapefruit flavors to establish a bright tropical bitterness.
