Eating and Drinking with The Growler's Joe Alton: Oktoberfest
September 23, 2015
Joe Alton is editor-in-chief of The Growler and project director of the Beer Dabbler.
This week, Joe stops by The Current's Morning Show to talk about Oktoberfest celebrations happening in the Twin Cities metro area. "It's all about the parties," Joe says. "It's kind of like St. Patrick's Day — everyone's an honorary German this time of year."
