    Surly actually waits until the proper season to release its Oktoberfest

    It isn't an oktoberfest. It is a rye lager made with American hops. With an OFest name and packaging.

    interesting. Can you recommend a good ubiquitous oktoberfest that is likely to get distro out in west-central? We don't get much.

    Summit's in the warehouse here but the sales guys have orders to wait until the summer's gone. I was hoping to pick some up tonight.

    Hmm that is a wasteland. But St. Cloud has to have some good options. They also have a Boulder Tap House which has an excellent selection

    I know it's been released, but don't have a clue if it's made it up your way yet. It's definitely one of the Oktoberfests I have in my fridge during the season.

    Surlyfest is my favorite Surly canned beer. You can have all the Abrasive, but give me Surlyfest.

    I hope with the new brewery Surly ups production of Surlyfest. I can't believe how tough it is to get a single four pack. Seems like most stores only get there hands on about half dozen flats, and that's all she wrote for the year.
