Producer Special S.2 E.4 – Prost! (Cheers!)

Prost!
It’s the perfect time of the year to talk (and partake in) some Oktoberfest celebrations! 🍻 
We bet you’ve heard of it - that  special beer drinking festival that’s known for its unique traditions, music, snacks, and of course beer (served in a big ol’ stein!). 
But… where and why did this unique celebration originate? What beers remind us of Oktoberfest? And, what are the best Oktoberfest themed food pairings? 
We talk about it all in this week’s producer special episode! Join us to celebrate and feel free to pour one into a frosty stein and snack on a soft pretzel 🥨🍻 while you do so!)
