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.

This week on Beer Sessions, Jimmy and Ray explore the oft-overlooked item that is absolutely necessary for yeast to create alcohol: malt. Jay Steinhauer of American Beer Distributing and Benjamin Stutz of Brooklyn Homebrew talk about base yeast, specialty yeast, and making beer, plus Sam Barbieri of Waterfront Ale House talks about his career in the bar (and ice cream) biz. Christan and Andrea of Valley Malts discuss their exceedingly rare project to create their own, local version of a Malt House. Finally the guys discuss aged beers, barley wine, and this years pumpkin shortage (yes, there was a pumpkin shortage). This episode was sponsored by Great Brewers.com: a favorite source for beer information and education and one of the internet's most popular beer destinations.
