I'm kicking this episode off with some fun event coverage, followed up by announcements for our Oktoberfest / OK To Beer event happening right here inside Jungle Jim's International Market in Fairfield. It's not JUST Oktoberfest happening this month though, as we also celebrate the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival in this episode's segment of The Taste Test. I finally got to try a traditional mooncake! Find out how much I loved it! Later, we're joined by Ferdinand from our expansive beer department to teach me about some fall beer offerings, and then a deep dive into the company's infrastructure with our Director of Development, Phill Adams. Don't worry, we made sure to investigate some famous Jungle Rumors too. Submit your favorite rumors (and all other questions) to
