We've been serving it at the Brewery in Boston for a few weeks now. I've also been seeing it in local bars/pubs/liquor stores in Boston. I was in Florida this weekend and saw it on draft at a restaurant. I guess it takes longer to make it's way out to the left coast.

I dig it too bro.

If you like the SA Oktoberfest, you should try the Spatten Oktoberfest! I've come to look for that more than any other when this time of the year rolls around.

Re: Sam Adams Oktoberfest
 
I've already seen it in stores in MA, NH, and NY. I use it for my Bratwurst and Caramelized Onions and Beer butter sauce. Wicked good stuff!!

CigarGuy88 09-06-2009 05:54 PM

Re: Sam Adams Oktoberfest
 
You're definitely right on the Spatten Oktoberfest. Very good stuff!

Re: Sam Adams Oktoberfest
 
damn I am located in NY. I had my ma check for it today when she got groceries but she said they didnt have any. I will have to check around and see if I can locate it. I need to stock up this year.

They had it at our Sam's Club (in IN) yesterday. Agreed, one of my favorites as well.

Somebody brought it to a birthday cookout for me yesterday, so it's in the store for sure in the upstate ny area

Had it on tap in NC two weeks ago... have seen the bottle for about a week. It is a good brew for sure.

I'll have to get some. They had a bunch at my local liquor store but bought some Fat Tire instead.

Been on tap at Bar Louie in Branson, MO for a few weeks now.

Also, if you like SA Oktoberfest, you should try Schlafly Pumpkin Ale. From a local brewery in St. Louis, available in Missouri and Southern Illinois. 8% ABV

This man speaks the truth! Other great Oktoberfest beers are Ayinger Oktoberfest-Marzen, Hacker Pschorr Oktoberfest-Marzen, and Paulaner Oktoberfest-Marzen.

Do you want me to order you a case or three this week, 'freak? You can swing by and pick it up when you come down in a few weeks to watch the Yankees clinch. :D

SA Oktoberfest is good. Had it on draft last Friday at a local eatery. I've heard the brew is slightly different every year. Anyone know if there's any truth to that?

:hm Will have to try them. I think Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale is friggin great, better than Dogfish IMO. Have you ever had the Weyerbacher and how would you compare it?

Re: Sam Adams Oktoberfest
 
It's all about the Paulaner Oktoberfest...but in a pinch (like Thursday night for the ball game and I couldn't find Paulaner), SA Oktoberfest does just fine...it was really good actually.

As far as pumpkin beers there is Southern Tier Pumking....and everything else.:banger

I got a keg of this on Friday and we've really been enjoying it. It wasn't my first choice, but it was definitely the best option of the kegs available. Easy-drinking, tastes good, and goes well with cigars. I'll probably be hitting the tap again as soon as football starts today :)

Got together with some good friends this past weekend up at Bethany Beach, DE. We had a "Taste Off" between the SA Oktoberfest and Harpoon's version. Harpoon won by a landslide--it had a better hop/malt balance which my buddies preferred. If you have some in your area, pick it up. :tu

We also ventured up the road to the Dogfish Head brewery for a tour & sampling. My first venture this year with their Punkin Ale draft (very good, seemed like a cross between SA's Winter Lager & an Oktoberfest.)

Soon as I upload some photos, might have to start a new thread about my adventures there!
