    NEBCO Schitzengiggles on at the brewery and available to-go, definitely one of the sweeter ones i've tried this year, if that's your jam.

    Perhaps jumping the gun a bit but haven't seen anything for Magoun's (Somerville) Ofest lineup or events yet. Usually starts up early September/Labor Day weekend.

    I think pretty much like clockwork it starts the week after Labor Day.

    Had OEC Oktoberfest Festbier last evening light but pleasant and also bought Burlington Good Company. Crafted in Holliston had good selection of locals and imports. Also a tasting yesterday where I tried Rising Tides Oktoberfest and a few other of their brews.

    Pemberton Farms' "Pemberfest" is coming up on Sept 16.

    Not an Oktoberfest but outdoors with live music and tastings from 12+ local breweries - CBC, Jacks Abby, River Styx, Widowmaker, Notch, Bone Up, Idle Hands, etc. Cost of the $20 ticket is returned to you in store credit.

    I went last year, it's a good take considering it's essentially free. Unfortunately this butts right up against Notch's Oktoberfest in Brighton for me...

    If you want imported ones all in one place, just go to Olde Magouns, Long Cross, or Blackmoor (all within a 4 mile radius of eachother) September through October.

    Had it yesterday at The Bowery in Lower Mills with lunch.

    Also, Publick House just teased a few that they are putting on tap as well.
