Sam Adams Octoberfest

**gopherpuckfan** · 10-12-07, 01:02 PM

I bought a 12 pack of Octoberfest bottles last night. I am convinced that this seasonal beer is the Nectar of the Gods

That is all.

Sam Adams beers are damn skippy.

I love Black Lager and Cherry Wheat

**gopherpuckfan** · 10-13-07, 12:28 AM

I actually have a bottle of Cherry Wheat in my fridge. My brother-in-law gave me a couple the last time I was in Chicago. Good stuff!

I went to the store with the purpose of buying some SA Octoberfest, but the bastards didn't have it in the cooler. Who the hell puts beer on the shelf?

Anyways, I picked up some Leinenkugles Creamy Dark and I loved it!

I'm going to try some Fat Tire tonight!

Fat Tire is yummy!!!!!

They don't sell Leinenkugle out here, but I'm heading home for a visit in December - I'll give that a try.

I discovered Shiner Bock in Texas - another one of my favorites.

Mmm......beer. Sam Adams is some good stuff. Gotta love the Newcastle Brown Ale too!

**nsb22** · 10-13-07, 09:21 PM

NewCastle is the shit as well!

I have drank one bottle of the Fat Tire Enlightened Dark Ale, and that one was damn tasty. I will be moving on to there light Ale next!

You know I read this darn thread when it first came out and thought..."note to self...try this beer". Well, I went out tonight and they had it on tap at the place I went for dinner and wouldn't ya know it....I AM ON CALL AND CAN'T DRINK.

I am hoping to give it a try at some point. And some of these other beers....fat tire???? Where the heck do you find this stuff? Love beer...good beer...not the watered down stuff most drink.

**Doc_Holliday** · 10-13-07, 11:56 PM

Fat Tire is the SHITE..definately not a watered down beer

I generally find the good stuff at party shops here. The best one is attached to an upper class liquor store though, so maybe start looking there?

If you like the Creamy Dark, Leinies has one called Big Butt. That is even better, give it a try

**nsb22** · 10-14-07, 07:22 AM

Hmm. I'm off tomorrow and Tuesday. I might have to do some experimenting!

**Shoestring** · 10-14-07, 07:31 AM

NSB22,
I dont know if you can get it, its common in Madison, WI,
its called tyranena, www.tyranena.com, they have great microbrews. I like the "bitter woman from hell" and "Blackhawk Porter". I am drooling just thinking about it..... AA here I come

**nsb22** · 10-14-07, 07:36 AM

Looks like the closest LISTED store is in Praire Du Chein. So if I ever make it up to Cabelas...

I may go down the street to the high end liqour store and see what they have.

**ThinBlueLine22** · 10-14-07, 10:16 AM

Spotted Cow from the New Glarus Brewing Company ain't too shabby either. Only problem is that I can't find it here in MN

Schell's Brewery in New Ulm, MN makes some great seasonals too. They make an Oktoberfest that is better than Sam Adams, in my opinion. They also make a brew called "Snowstorm". It is different every year, sometimes good sometimes not so good.

Man! I'm gonna be home for a week....so many beers....so little time!!!

**adroitcuffs** · 10-14-07, 05:22 PM

If any of y'all get to the Boston area, ya gotta go to the Sam Adams brewery for a tour. The brewery can be a little tricky to find but well worth it. Of course, part of the tour includes free samples ... and I'm not talkin' about little sips, either! Bring a designated driver 'cause there's plenty of sampling to be done!!!
