Oktoberfest began in Munich, Germany last month, on September 19, and today was the last day. As they do every year, there's a poster contest to choose each year's official poster. This is the last one of the remaining semi-finalists that did not place in the top three that I'll share this year.

By happenstance, I was on Alameda today for their monthly Antiques Fair, so afterwards stopped in for a last pint at The Rake before it closes on the 18th. As you can see the malting stopped two days ago, but beer was still flowing.

Saw the news today that Admiral Maltings is closing up shop, with the malting facility closing October 2 and The Rake on October 18. It's not surprising, but it's still somewhat sad. For a time I thought craft malting could be the future. I wish Dave, Ron and Curtis all the best.
