Brewery : Lost Forty Beer : The Hunter Style : Marzen / Oktoberfest Variance : None

8 / 10

Well, I may have found my new favorite Oktoberfest beer. This style in general just doesn’t do much for me but I will admit that it just fits the fall so perfectly and right now, this is hitting the spot. Now as far as the whole “The Hunter” thing, I’m not really into it. The only thing I enjoy killing is bugs because they fucking suck but even though I absolutely love eating animals, I’m just not too hot on the idea of killing them myself. For me, I feel like I would be much better suited to be the type of hunter like in The Pest because who wouldn’t want to try and kill John Leguizamo in the 90’s, am I right? I mean come on, Super Mario Bros.? I knew you’d agree. This beer has a nice caramel sweetness to start with some nice light malt flavor mixing in giving this a smooth texture in the middle before closing with a floral hop and malt sweetness mixture. There’s really not too much more to be said about this beer besides that you should be drinking this while your leaves are turning colors. If you live in a state where you don’t get a fall or spring, fuck off. I’m jealous of you and I hope you choke on your beer! Anyways, make sure you pick this up whether or not you’ve been drinking your whole life or just started because this really does capture the season perfectly in a 12oz can. Enjoy you bastards!

Christmas Party Buffet (Pizza, Salad, Pimento Cheese, etc.). Lost Forty Brewing Company. Little Rock, Arkansas. 12.8.2023.

NOTE TO SELF: The supreme pizza and the celery sticks with pimento cheese were where it's at.

Brewhouse Gumbo. Lost Forty Brewing Company. Little Rock, Arkansas. 12.21.2022.

NOTE TO SELF: I came for the stew I saw on social media last night, but they sold out before I got here for lunch today, so I opted for the gumbo. A solid substitute.

Smokeshack Salmon Salad. Lost Forty Brewing Company. Little Rock, Arkansas. 8.2.2022.

NOTE TO SELF: A lot of competing flavors here -- the dressing with the pickled radishes and the pickled...well, pickles. Just the same, a tasty option for a beer hall.

Cheesedip App, Smoked Turkey Reuben Sandwich, Cuban Grilled Cheese Sandwich (shared all). Lost Forty Brewing Company. Little Rock, Arkansas. 11.15.2019.

NOTE TO SELF: I trusted the server with choosing my sandwich and went with the Cuban, even though I know I’m always disappointed with them. Luckily, Liz wanted to try it, so we did a half and half. The turkey was solid. I love sauerkraut.

Sausage + Pimento Cheese Grits, Blueberry Pancake (shared). Lost Forty Brewing Company. Little Rock, Arkansas. 6.2.2019.

NOTE TO SELF: I’ve not been impressed with Lost Forty’s food (or beer), but this is my first go at their brunch, and it was good. Hearty, and the pancake provided some sweetness. Order this exact same thing again.
