My favorite beer season of the year is among us..... Oktoberfest/Octoberfest/Marzen season.

I'm as die-hard a hophead as you'll find, but if i could only drink one style of beer the rest of my life it would be OFests. They are simply the epitome of beer, in my humble opinion. And rumor is the [b]Sierra Nevada Collaboration Oktoberfest[/b] is starting to hit my market..... YES.

Never seen the bottles, only old Rasputin.... What they go for?

[Chicago Lefty]

$20 here for the old stock. Fairly available if you know where to look here.

$20-24 here think I saw some up in Escondido when I was looking for bottle shops online

[toddnt]

Today's couple... Aged to perfection, only one bottle left, damn!

[bub72ck]

 

Picked this up today among other things. It's pretty good. The second release from Sweetwater on their corked line. I think I'm going to go back and get another and sit on it for a while.

 

Also tried all four of the new offerings from Yee Haw brewing which is started up in Johnson City, TN. They are only kegging to local places right now but as soon as they open will be bottling and distributing all over the southeast. I have been really impressed with all of their offering especially the Pilsner. Their brewmaster was plucked from Lagunitas.

[fore_life]

Johnson City is my favorite place, just keeps getting bettwr!

[One_Putt_Blunder]

Just sat down to start the goose island dinner interested to see what I'll be able to bring home with me. Bought some stuff last night could be a really good two day score

Yeah dude we need to schedule time to block out the entire day and do a bottle share and verticals with some of the stuff we have. Think I'm going to pick up another Cuirve to sit on too. That beer was really impressive.

[toddnt]

Happy Tequila day...... Just released!

Haven't cracked one open yet will prob put one in the fridge tonight for after golf tomorrow. Can't beat the price

[Chicago Lefty]

Big bad baptist is a great beer, especially since it's pretty much a shelf beer in Wisconsin.

[fore_life]

My wife and I split our 2013 BBB last night, it's teally solid, though it seems like the 2013 had slightly less bourbon flavor than this years offering, but for $11, it's a damn good imperial stout, barrel or not.

Another one I really like was the squatters outer darkness, killer for $9

[One_Putt_Blunder]

I swear it must be bourbon county week in Phoenix. Went to dinner tonight bcbs and bcbcs on tap. At least two different bottle shops with bottle releases in the last couple days

[toddnt]

Wish they'd ship to Cali.

[One_Putt_Blunder]

Epic Bourbon Barrel Big Bad Baptist 2013- Very very good incredible buy for $12 close to but just not quite at the level of the Stout whales but IMO the best quality for the money barrel aged stout going. Definitely will be stocking up on these as a go to on the next release. Even with 2 years age still getting the coffee coming through. Could be a bit more bourbon flavor for my tastes.

[Tampajoe3]

Done walking the dog, too hot for a porter.

[itw419]

It's hot out but I'm in the AC. This is such a good beer.

[Chicago Lefty]

Lol, what's up Local?

[bub72ck]

Does anyone else have the Pavlov's Dog reaction when they look at this thread? I always get this major beer craving every time I come in here.

[Chicago Lefty]

Yes...yes I do.

[One_Putt_Blunder]

Yeah especially when it's something like bourbon barrel plead the fifth that I have been trying to get my hands on but can't

[1puttTUT]

It's hot out but I'm in the AC. This is such a good beer.

 

 

I NEED to try this one...up for any trades?
