They’re baaaaaaack. Stopped at HyVee the other day and I was kind of surprised to see so many märzen’s out already. I know it’s only the beginning of August and these seem to come out a little earlier each year but I’m cool with it because it means my favorite season is right around the corner. Bring ‘em on.

Octobot 3000 is great as always and so is Founders Ultimate Octoberfest.
Been seeing a lot of local releases up in MN too. Definitely getting me excited for football

Too early, given post yardwork in triple digit heat index weather. But that picture is inspiring for mid-week after the cold front moves in.

Agreed. I don’t get into Oktoberfests and other fall beers until the end of September

Pumpkin and Oktoberfest beers are my favorite, have a kid free weekend coming before school and soccer starts. Hopefully pick some up

Love Octoberfests and such, but it has to be after Labor Day for me. And stops right around Halloween.

Fall Beer Enthusiasts: Toppling Goliath Oktoberfest is at DSM area Hy Vee's. Many others will be trickling in soon, winter is coming, enjoy fall early while you can!

Anyone who likes Oktoberfest and makes a trip to Wisconsin get yourself some Staghorn. It’s my favorite Oktoberfest

It’s also a beer from New Glarus so you can only get it in Wisconsin just like Spotted Cow. Personally I like it much better. Spotted Cow is a bit overrated

Staghorn is legit.
Spotted Cow is definitely overrated.
Moon Man is where it's at.

I agree little too early but I love Octoberfest beer. For me its move from Summer Shandy Leinie to Octoberfest Leinie as soon as harvest starts.

I had one yesterday. It’s probably my favorite Iowa Oktoberfest
It’s really good, full of flavor and so smooth. Also really like Confluence Octoberfest but it hasn’t been released yet. Octobot 3000 is my favorite but it’s an imperial barrel aged that’s on another level.

I can’t get Confluence much up here, but I agree that it’s great

Did a long weekend in Madison. Checked out New Glarus, which outside of their fruit beers, I find overrated. Their brewery is a thing of beauty though. Be advised, not open on weekends. Speaking of fall beers, I picked up some Southern Tier Carmel Pumpking and Warlock. 1000006157.jpg
