Fall Beer Sightings? (2021)

Hey, it's July 5th, the First Day of Summer here in the PNW. Let us have some summer, ok?

 

I won't lie... I can't wait for Oktoberfests... I'm ready for fall!

 

Haven’t seen anything yet but I’m definitely anticipating it. I do love fall. Too bad it only lasts for a week in Michigan.

 

Based on your last month's weather I assumed you were ready for fall.

 

It took that week to just dry the moss off our backs.

 

Where in Illinois? I haven't even seen old stock.

 

the branding for this year's SN Oktoberfest is on the website, i'm sure that will be out nationwide by August.

 

Available August to September, according to the website.

 

I'm still enjoying summer but I am craving Oktoberfests.

My local corner store has Paulaner Oktoberfest-Marzen. I'm guessing it's last year's?

 

In my market, I usually always see SN Okto-fest in late July....along with many others

 

Check dates -- Paulaner has good dating. Some areas can have Paulaner and H-P Okto available year-round.

 

You probably have better distros than my area.

 

I wonder if they're doing another collab or not. The image might just be a stock Oktoberfest until they announce the brewery. Either way I'm looking forward to it. Of note, that is an image of a can which is interesting, and the release calendar also states 12oz cans, 6-packs, and 12-packs. Is this the first year for their Oktoberfest to be released in cans? What would be really cool to see is for it to be sold in a large can format because we all know these will end up in a huge mug or stein

 

No. It's been reported in a couple other threads that this is an all-new SN take on the style for 2021.

And I think you're right in it being the first canning for their Okto.

But yeah, I'm looking forward to trying it too.

 

One local brewer has a year round Oktoberfest beer. It's pretty good...

 

I just brought back a beer from vacation, same deal. They brew their marzen all year, in fact the date stamp says “all year long.”

 

From my understanding the marzen is a year round offering and the weisn is the seasonal.
