Like the head on a freshly poured pint, the microbrewery scene in northern Johnson County has blossomed beautifully in recent years.

So with the beer drinkers’ delight that is “Oktober” upon us, we’re looking for recommendations on where to find the best locally brewed Marzen or Wiesn (or other German-style) beer on tap.

So, thirsty readers, where should we head to fill our stein with the tastiest of Oktoberfest fare? Prost!

To send us your ‘5 to Try’ suggestions this week and each week after this, you can:

Each Friday, we’ll publish our readers’ suggestions for what made it into our ‘5 to Try.’
