Check around--I've been able to get this for a few weeks now. And I think I'll be picking up a 6pk every time I go in the store until they're out

Octoberfest by Samuel Adams is still around. Go get some before they sell out.

My favorite beer anytime of the year.

From the Samuel Adams website:

"The first thing you notice when pouring a glass of this seasonal beer is the color. Samuel Adams® Octoberfest has a rich, deep golden amber hue which itself is reflective of the season. Samuel Adams® Octoberfest is a malt lover's dream, masterfully blending together four roasts of barley to create a delicious harmony of sweet flavors including caramel and toffee. The beer is kept from being overly sweet by the elegant bitterness imparted by the German Noble hops. Samuel Adams® Octoberfest provides a wonderful transition from the lighter beers of summer to the winter's heartier brews."

I picked up a couple cases of Sam Adams Octoberfest and Dogfish Pumpkin as they have been my two favorites this year and want to keep some around post-season.

Man, I wish we could get Dogfish Head out here in Oklahoma. I've had to settle lately for things like the Reverend, Salvation, and Hog Heaven Barleywine from Avery...

I really wasn't a fan of the Nosferatu when I tried it last year it was very flavorful just not they way I like it.

Depends how fast it turns over I guess. I was at a bar last Tuesday and they said they kicked the last of the Oktoberfest a few days prior, but they had the Winter Ale on tap.

Brooklyn Black Chocolate stout may not be the best Imperial Stout out there, but weak and tasteless it isn't. Possibly you got a fake from Miami

Be careful driving with the winter lager in you. It's strong!
