Octoberfests and Mr. Pumpkin

I always enjoy the holiday season. The heat of the summer has passed, the leaves start changing colors, and the awesome seasonal beers start to show up on the shelves. I have now tried 3 different Octoberfests and while each one has its similarities, they are slightly different depending on who made them. I also got a chance to visit a friend from last year, Mr. Pumpkin.

Mother's Brewing Company

Every journey has it's beginnings. For me, that was with the Mother's Brewing Company in Springfield, Missouri.

My Brother-In-Law had invited me to take a tour of a new brewery that had just opened up in Downtown Springfield and it sounded like fun. I enjoyed a good beer every now and again. What I didn't realize was just how eye opening of an experience it was going to be. Before visiting the brewery, I had never experienced the fullness of what a beer could actually be.

That was almost a year ago now. Hard to believe. Mother's hold a special place in my heart, and my fridge, since they are the brewery who pulled me in. It's hard to put a finger on which of their selections is my favorite as they are all so unique and different.
