Forget ACL. Yäktoberfest 2013 is Coming Soon!




Fall is a magical time here in Austin.  After your typical brutally hot Austin summer, the weather finally starts to cool down, eventually hitting that sweet spot in the 70s and 80s.  UT comes back to school, which stokes the seeming millions of local college football fans.  And of course, if you're a music fan (and who in Austin isn't really?), you can't forget the ACL Festival, which usually kicks off an active concert season that runs through November.

But the fall event that I'm sure most of Austin is waiting for is, without a doubt, Yäktoberfest!  What's that?  Yäktoberfest is an annual charity fundraiser that several local home brewers hold, where home-brewed beer is shared, fun is had and money is raised for good causes. This will be our fourth Yäktoberfest, and we're hoping to outdo last year.  I've been working on three different beers, although I haven't decided which ones my team, the Connecticut Drankees, will be offering up this year.
