Winston Churchill scored a pretty incredible prescription from a NY doctor in the 1930s: a prescription for booze. Which was kind of a big deal considering it was prohibition, and that was about the only way you could legally get your drink on in the US. Anyway, that's what this picture of a doctor handing an Rx note to Churchill is all about.

Even cyber-criminals like to party during Oktoberfest. You can tell he's a cyber-criminal because he's wearing a black fedora. The real crime here, though, is he's definitely spilled some beer in his keyboard. And for that he should go to straight to jail, for a very long time.

It's an incredibly accurate depiction of our Oktoberfest blind tasting. Special table cloth, lederhosen, beer steins, fedoras with feathers, and actual blindfolds? Yep, we totally did all of those things. You should have been there, it was great. We definitely didn't just hang out hatless in t-shirts sipping beer from small tasting glasses. Nope.

Ngl, I like this one. Reminds me of some old school animation style that I can't quite place.

This guy's overflowing bag of beer will probably be enough to get him through the weekend, even when the drinkers behind him start getting into his stash. But are they beers from Africa? They could be, we've learned this week that Africa is killing it lately with beer production.

Foam- it belongs on your beer. A beer without head is a bad thing... unless you're in a belching competition. This guy got a healthy head on his beer, and he's happy about it.

Who knew aluminum could get more expensive. Not these two. But they're looking at pallets and pallets of increased costs. Is it time to switch back to glass bottles yet? This blurb of image alt text thinks it is.

The beers on this podium are worthy of entry into the Craft Beer Hall of fame. What beers are they? Well, you're just going to have to listen to the show to find out! (And also, there are five of them, not three. But a podium with five winners would just be weird.)

These guys that all look a lot like cousins of Hank Hill are enjoying a refreshing Alamo beer in front of the Alamo after watching the episode of King of the Hill where Hank home brews. It doesn't look like it, but there's a lot going on here considering it's basically just four dudes standing with a beer in hand.

If you gotta run, you may as well have a beer to make it tolerable. Or so the runner in this picture is probably thinking. He's dripping with sweat, and so am I just thinking about running.

These poor chaps are sweating their butts off attempting to Oktoberfest in the dead heat of July. There's a reason we don't Oktoberfest in July. Actually several. One cue is in the name. It's not Julytoberfest, you animals.
