Host Barry Madore is joined by Malted North co-founders – Yoerg Brewer, Brennan McKeag, and University of St. Thomas professor (and home brewer extraordinare), Jason Pattit, to talk about all things Oktoberest – history, locations, beer styles, etc.  As has become our tradition, we start off with a round of "what are we drinking" and end by highlighting music by local musicians who are dear friends of Yoerg – this month we feature music by the band Mystery Shot.

 

FYI, Oktoberfest at Yoerg will start promptly at noon on September 1, 2025. Check out our Facebook post for details. If you're interested in skipping to the section of the podcast where we list and describe the fest beers Yoerg will be featuring in September, that segment begins at about 42:23 into the conversation.
