    With the 4th of July in our rear view mirror, we all know how beer releases are. Fall beer (usually Oktoberfest) starts trickling out onto shelves in late July and I have had my fix of my favorite spring/summer beers and am ready to crack open some of my favorite fall beers. I was just wondering if anyone has seen any fall beer on shelves yet at all. CHEERS!

    No joke was seriously just thinking about that beer when I posted this if you live in central Illinois last year the Binny’s in Bloomington had it as early as late July on shelves last year. That and the Leinenkugel Oktoberfest.

    I'm pumped. I'd drink Oktoberfest beers year-round if they were available.

    Count me in.

    It’s never too early for Oktoberfestbier.

    I mean don’t we have Christmas ale available right in late October as well?

    Cheers.

    Not an Oktoberfest but ready for Bell's Brown Ale to hit the shelves.

    As for Oktoberfest, ready for a 4 pack La Cumbre's.

    I'm still willing to drink Maibocks if I find them. Oh wait, I still have several in my fridge. :slight_smile: My two brothers gifted me with so much hoppy beer in late May and that has been my drinking priority, so I've allowed the Maibocks to get pushed to the back. A nice problem to have.

    No, I'm not ready for Octoberfests yet, and I haven't seen them on store shelves yet.

    I had my last HB Maibock over the past weekend... it had oxidized a little. However, SN Summerfest has been on sale for a couple months now and is drinking rather nice... I can hold out for some more Autumn-like weather before I start hunting Festbier.

    I was just about to say that I am still catching up on the Maibocks in my fridge. It's going to be 90 degrees in NJ all week so I can't even start thinking about Oktoberfests yet. Who am I kidding... it's one of my favorite styles so maybe I have been thinking about them just a little. :wink:

    If I remember correctly, this year's HB Maibock was bottled in Jan or Feb. That's right in line with when I noticed a dropoff in their Oktoberfestbier, around the 6-month mark.

    This is the best time of the year imo. Well, Fall is actually. But, love me some Fall beers. Count me in for at least a 6 of SN Oktoberfest, a pumpkin beer or 2, and some Fresh Hop beers.

    It’s always summer in FL, so anytime I can find something tasty outside of the IPA realm I’m happy.

    Probably a couple more weeks til we start seeing them, but I’m ready.

    I can’t wait to have both SN Summerfest and Oktoberfest in my fridge at the same time. Can let the weather determine which I drink.
