It is a solo flight for Scott on this midweek edition as we shuffle the recording schedule to make way for Thursday night Bills football. Coming to you live from the home studio in front of the Bills glassware, Scott is pouring his own homebrewed Festbier/Oktoberfest—a malt-forward lager that attenuated cleanly with just enough noble hop crispness to cut through a big batch of smoked and flash-fried wings seasoned up with Q42 rub. Between setting fantasy lineups with Josh Allen, looking ahead to half-way to St. Patrick's Day gigs, and debating whether running a four-lap, four-beer race is a great idea or just a surefire ticket to an immediate afternoon nap, there is an absolute avalanche of autumn beer releases and Oktoberfest bashes hitting Western New York. Catch the full video edition, live pour, and screen shares on the Buffalo Beer Buzz Playlist on YouTube. Here is what is on tap across the 716: Oktoberfest Blowouts Across WNY: Autumn celebrations are in full swing this weekend.
