What Beer Are You Drinking? - Fall 2011

I'm drinking a somewhat bland, uninspiring Yuengling Lager. I don't get all the hoopla over this stuff.

I feel the same way about the lager and light versions. The black and tan is a different story. It is excellent!

Sierra Nevada Tumbler Brown - let it warm up a bit and it's like tobacco from a pipe.

Great night of beer drinking with the stellar Avery IPA leading the pack, followed by Blue Point IPA (from Long Island) and Brooklyn Brewery's East India Pale Ale. Sierra Nevada's Torpedo IPA on deck this afternoon.

Love love love the Torpedo! Sierra Nevada has really kicked it into gear in the last few years - their Harvest beers are just awesome, too, as were their anniversary offerings.

It's overcast, breezy, a touch coolish outside. Just perfect for a Great Lakes Oktoberfest while listening to the Colts and Chiefs on the radio. Just like seemingly everything else this brewery puts out, this is wonderful beer.

So, at this point in my Octoberfest beer tastings, these beers make the podium:
Sam Adams Octoberfest
Great Lakes Oktoberfest
New Belgium Hoptober

This really is a nice time of year for beer drinking.

Which Octoberfest do you prefer.... Great Lakes or Sam Adams? I still think the SA is the best Oct.fest I've had, and I'm a huge fan of Great Lakes offerings.

Me, too, E. Sam Adams is my favorite. The GLB and NB offerings are very good, but I still prefer the SA.

Grilling and enjoying a Sam Adams Octoberfest here as well. My favorite among all the Sams and one of the absolute best Octoberfest beers out there.
