Bier Himmel (Jimmy Horzen and German Festbiers)

Barry and Abigail discuss Oktoberfest ist Wunderbar by Jimmy Horzen and sample three German festbiers: Weihenstephaner Festbier from Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan, Oktoberfest Märzen from Hacker-Pschorr, and Oktoberfest Märzen / Original Münchner Märzen from Paulaner Brauerei. Read the Untappd article that inspired Barry’s beer choices for this episode, including information on the “big six” Munich breweries that can use the Oktoberfest label on their beers. Watch as the wonderful Latvian-born accordionist Ksenija Sidorova introduces her instrument as part of Classic FM's new video series Discover Instruments. Watch Anders Flanderz One Man Band perform the Harry Potter Theme (featuring an accordion!). Watch relative of the pod Zachary “Def Poppa” Hummel play the tuba. Schnitzelbank is a cumulative song that reminded Abigail of Children Go Where I Send Thee (the version she is most familiar with is by Natalie Merchant). Why do beer steins have lids? Up next… Hindu Love Gods by Hindu Love Gods Jingles are by our friend Pete Coe. Follow Barry or Abigail on Untappd to see what we’re drinking when we’re not on mic!
