The question: What brewery produced the first “Oktoberfest” beer in honor of the annual celebration of King Ludwig I?

The answer: Spaten in Munich, Germany. The original festival was a wedding festival for the king and queen-to-be. It did not become a folk festival for many years later.

Congratulations to Joel Deal, the winner of the Beer Knurd contest. He’ll receive a free membership into the Flying Saucer’s U.F.O. Club.

While Deal lives in Dyersburg, he’s a regular at the downtown Flying Saucer. He also knows quite a bit about beer and says that he is the rare beast who evolved from a wine drinker to a beer drinker.

But enough about him, did you know this is Hungry Memphis’ 100th post?
