Am I the only one excited for Autumn & Sam's Octoberfest beer?

[MrMatt]

I can't wait for this year's batch. I wasn't a fan of 2 years ago's batch..and last year's batch was the worst they've had I think. I'm hoping they bounce back big time this year. I also found another great pumpkin beer: Shipyard's Pumpkinhead

Beer is such a low class beverage. I can't be bothered to drink it.

 

[joesmoke]

eh... ive found it tolerable but im not exactly hyped for it.

Too busy drinking my urine?

I always thought it was somewhat childish to get excited over drinking beer. Seems young kids get really talk the most about it. The more mature crowd in their late 30's and beyond pretty much sit and enjoy their beverage in silence.

Go to a homebrew supply shop and say that .

I used to brew my own as a hobby, and I'd see people in the shop tasting each others beer, swishing it around in their mouth and smelling it like wine.

I love the taste of beer, and appreciate it's qualities, but I've never gotten so obsessed that I could tell subtle differences in batches.

I like sammy octoberfest, but I just bought a keg of yuengling that's probably going to last me like 6 months. The wife loves the stuff though, so I'll probably pick up a 12 pack for her and throw a couple down.

Dogfish Head Punkin' Ale. Drink it. Love it.

Octoberfest is probably my favorite Sam Adams brew. I'm going to see if I can find a case of Southern Tier's Pumking around here.. although I doubt it. That's probably my favorite pumpkin out there. DFH's is ok, but I find it changes a decent bit from season to season. I also really liked Weyerbacher's Imperial Pumpkin.. Shipyard's was.. eh.. Mmm.. fall seasonals.

yaat

 

[Gothgar]

Also, I got a Sierra Nevada Marzen today in downtown San Diego, it was good.

 

[olds]

OP, in your condition, maybe you shouldn't drink?

 

[Squisher]

Dogfish Head Punkin' Ale. Drink it. Love it.

Agreed.

I like the pumpkin ales a lot. Pumpkin is a nice subtle flavor.

 

[child of wonder]

Meh.

I'd be more excited if they offered Latitude 48 in 6 packs or 12 packs. Their IPA is awesome.

 

[Gothgar]

Meh.

yeah, the only place I know of is 2 in those 12 packs, it was quite delicious

 

[insect9]

I can't wait for fall beers in general.

 

[Fritzo]

I'm not a fan. The spice clashes with the beer taste to me.

I wish they sold Blue Moon Summer Ale all year long

 

[Sinsear]

I am partial to the Summer Ale. Octoberfest beer doesnt do it for me. May summer never end.

I was talking to a manager at a bar recently; they actually push the Summer Ale (the company that brews Sam Adams), and try to keep bars ordering it as long as possible. Too bad because it's by far my least favorite of the sam's. I just don't really get any taste out of it. Just feels like glass shards to me

 

[MrMatt]

I actually haven't drank since the day after. I dunno why. I guess because I see it as not productive or something.

A man who knows his beer. I enjoyed DFH and Weyerbach's pumpkin beers although I remember DFH being a brown ale with a subtle pumpkin taste. Looked for Pumking last year but couldn't find it. My favorite from last season was the smuttynose pumpkin ale. Shipyard pumpkin is extremely over the top, tastes more like pumpkin pie/candy.

To me Sam Adams is great from the keg/tap. Not so great from the bottle. For bottled beer I prefer an ice cold pyramid hef with a slice of orange if i got it.
