We had a garsh-darn BLAST 💥 (per usual) at @tallshipboston’s Oktoberfest this past weekend.

Many beers were drank, pretzels eaten, steins held (some longer than others)… so, a huge thank you 🙏 to Tall Ship ⛵️ for having us again 🍻🍺🥨🪗🔥🎶🎸🥁

Swipe for some highlights, including:
- the @samueladamsbeer stein-holding competitors 🍺
- people gettin’ their polka goin’ on the dance floor 🪩
- the @kettleburners dressed in our Oktoberfest garb 👔
- The triumphant mast dancing in the evening sun 🌞
- Bonus Irish session gig, ☘️ “Halfway to St. Paddy’s” at @castleislandbeer RIGHT after Tall Ship’s Okt-fest (why do we do this to ourselves…?? Oh right, cuz we love it 🤪)
- And the start of some lovely fall foliage that was chillin’ in @ddb_co ‘s camera roll… cuz why not? 🍃🍂🍁
