Garrison Oktoberfest

Post by akr71 » Tue Oct 19, 2010 11:59 am

Has anyone tried this year's O-Fest? If so, how did you like it?

I had one last night that I can only describe as 'meaty' - like someone mixed beef boullion into it. :?

I had last week. OK, but not my type of beer.

I tried it on the weekend and can't say I was much of a fan either. It was alright..

I think I'd buy the Hopyard first. But I just prefer hops. Not that there's that much in Hopyard, there's just more.

Tried a pitcher at Maxwell's three weeks ago - split between four of us. None of us liked it. I convinced the others to try Prop's pumpkin ale ("I don't like fruit beer") and they all loved it.
