October: a little after dark.
Everything below happens in one month, under one theme. Same drink, same story, told across the bottle, the passport, the inbox and the club — this is what the ecosystem actually looks like on a calendar.

OKTOBERFEST, our way
Apple · Ginger · Cinnamon · Black Tea. Our Hamburg take on a Munich tradition. Six weeks only, then it goes back in the drawer until next autumn. Club members got theirs on 28 September.

OKTOBERFEST 2026 sticker
Peel it off the neck of the bottle, press it into the passport. A small line drawing of a chestnut tree, faded yellow. Nothing about it says souvenir shop.

A LITTLE AFTER DARK
The newsletter goes out. Why cinnamon behaves badly in a second ferment, one bar in Hamburg worth the walk, and what the October bottle tastes like at midnight rather than at breakfast.

Oktoberfest Apple Spritz
One bottle, a wide glass, a lot of ice, a strip of lemon peel. Optional: something stronger. We are not going to pretend otherwise.

The October issue
One long read on why autumn ferments faster, photographed on somebody's kitchen counter at 7am. Free to read, no sign-up wall.

One night, one label
The same Oktoberfest bottle, wearing a different label for 48 hours. No new recipe, no new stock — just a label and our own Oktoberfest-style party in Hamburg.
Brew Notes 022 — the October cover. Shot on a disposable at a friend's table, which is where most of these end up anyway.
