Also, there are certain beer categories that fall within these seasons such as- Oktoberfest, Holiday brews, and Limited Release brews.

Is there anything I should know before serving beer?
Yes! In order for your patrons to have the best experience possible you need to make sure your glassware is in proper condition. This process is known as “Beer Clean Glass”, which forms a proper head and creates residual lacing as the beer is consumed. Before use, beer glassware should be kept either chilled or slightly below room temperature. Using a dishwasher or serving beer fresh out of a wash are not recommended.
