Just because the party of summer is coming to an end doesn't mean that there aren't more celebrations to come in the next couple of months to Great Falls.  It actually means that we get a bunch of great fall season parties to get together with friends and family at.

October brings us a pile of fun with several Oktoberfest type parties on horizon.  But there is one that is going to kick not only the month of October in the rear, but also the end of September.

What Is an Oktoberfest Anyway?  Just A Big Party?

Oktoberfest is a celebration of German beer, food and culture.  The actual event is held in Munich, Germany every year at the end of September and beginning of October.  This two-week folk festival brings in over 6 million people to it each year.

As German-American heritage is the largest reported ancestorial group in America, it isn't a surprise that all across the US are parties to help ring in the month of October.

Grassers and Keggers: Old Beer Parties

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery. Keep reading to find out what the best beer is in each of the 50 states and Washington D.C.
