"I think New York is a really competitive market [for new craft beer] that you really need to come here at the right time. It's a hard thing to say, but you really have one chance to make it in a market like this. You might do well in your home market, but when you come to New York it's tough..." -- Andrew McLeod on Beer Sessions Radio
"Just like people are going to wineries and doing tastings, a lot more people are going to breweries." -- Harris Damashek on Beer Sessions Radio

This week on Beer Sessions Jimmy and Ray strapped on their llederhosen for a special episode about Germany, Oktoberfest, and fall beers. The guys discuss the pumpkin beer gamut including the pie-like and the spice-less, the history of Oktoberfest, why Oktoberfest beer isn't REALLY Oktoberfest beer, and why American beer drinkers often abandon their Oktoberfest beers after one bottle. They also speak about Germany as a beer-producing country in general, and why the freshness of a German beer makes all the difference. This episode was brought to you by Great Brewers.com: a favorite source for beer information and education and one of the internet's most popular beer destinations.
