I sort of agree but it's on the shelves now and prolly gone by mid/late September.Wish they'd string it out thru October it's the perfect fall Stein filler
we discussed this on the XII beer thread many years ago.  They distributors want that stuff on the truck now, and the distributors/producers/retail don't want any of it back.   If it lasts till October, great,  but they aren't going to saturate the market with seasonals, especially one that has a month in its name.

Plus, Oktoberfest starts in September anyway. Oktoberfest is concluded the first weekend of October.

Sometimes I think about *trying* a month off beer. If there were a month without IPAs, that'd do it!

Well, you all know my thoughts on IPA... :58:


That said, in my kegerator right now are:


  • Kolsch
  • IPA made w/ kolsch yeast
  • Blonde ale
  • Amber ale
  • Russian Imperial Stout
  • Carbonated chardonnay

So one of 6 taps is IPA.

On deck:

  • Belgian patersbier (kind of a Belgian single) - in fermenter now
  • Keg of barrel-aged Russian imperial stout - same batch as #5 above, but aged with my homebrew club in barrels
  • Pilsner - plan to brew it this Saturday
  • Oktoberfestbier - plan to re-use the yeast from the Pils, so this would be the next brew after that

I do like variety, even if most of the commercial beer I drink is IPA...

It's not unusual to be at a friend's place and grab a Bud Light with a smile or finish of my wife's stout/gose/wheat, but I can't remember the last time I had a beer I genuinely enjoyed that wasn't an IPA.

I'm sipping a Sam Adams Boston Lager at the moment.  I am enjoying it as much as seeing Wisconsin really airing it out this season.

There are an unusual number of accidental TV puns in this thread.

Exactly.  My friend Chip at Live Oak brews one of the best Oktoberfests in the USA.  And he absolutely can't sell it beyond Halloween, nobody will buy it.  

Several brewers have started using the Marzen label or simply calling it Festbier in an attempt to lengthen the buying cycle for it, not sure whether it's working or not.

Personally, it's tough for me to drink a Marzen while it's still 100 degrees outside so I don't typically crack one until the end of September, but they've been on the shelf here since mid July.  I actually noted the day this year, it was one of the large national brands like Sam Adams or Sierra Nevada, and it was July 18th.  

Heck, I'll still be drinking pilsners and kolsch until November, but such is the way of things.

Surprise find for me - Kroger brand KC BBQ sauce.  It was a buck, I have it a shot, better than the name brands IMHO, not so sweet.  Wife likes it too.
