As if I needed more indecision when browsing the beer aisle.

I bought Spaten and Great Lakes O'fests this past Saturday. Gonna pick up a case of Dundee O'fest this weekend. Very good beer for the price.

I will have to try to Dundee, can't say as they have impressed me too much with their other styles. Harpoon, Southern Tier, Bells, and a few others have been pretty good in years past.

Can't wait for Bob's '47 to hit the shelves. Boulevard's seasonal that is usually worth anticipating.But then I have to deal with the store owners again. Really haven't been in much since I went over the top brewing - haven't given them much business at all. I don't buy much storebought anymore and when I do it's something special that they don't have. So I go a little further to buy it. Last time I bought anything there I think they were worried I was on step 13 of a 12 step program since I hadn't been there forever.

It's hard to find a good O'fest around here unless you like a Sam, that is.

You need to tell those clowns at SNBC that thier O'fest should be bottled and have a national distribution...

yes - I find Sam's to be a little too sweet/caramelly for me.

I think that the time of the O'fest are not that bad. They seem to come out about 1 month before the event (remember that the festival is Sept 19 - Oct 4). It is Sept festival not really an Oct festival like the name implies.We will start seeing X-mas beers in Oct

Sam's is not bad for an American O'fest. They can't hold a candle to Spaten and H-P though. I think O'fests stay on the shelves year round here. I don't recall ever not seeing them.

Saw Bob's in lawrence at Jensen's. Almost bought it last night but I opted for the boulevard pils because I hadn't tried it yet. (P.S. the pils is great!)

I really like the Sam Adam's Ofest. Paulaner and Hacker Pschorr are my favorites. Pulaner seems to be on the shelves here year round.

I just picked up Dominion and something else. Some Charlottesville, VA brewery. I was a little surprised to find O'fests coming out in August, but whatever, I'll enjoy them I like to sample the southern breweries when I'm down in DC.I'm also with Mtn on the SA O'fest, that probably my favorite Sam Seasonal.

I think I'll just brew one myself this year. The German imported ones would be great, if they weren't all old and oxidized.

Yeah, they brew it "here" (where I am now)

It feels like every tank at Schlafly is full of O-fest right now.
