My dad got me a few of these because my name is Patrick. Not bad though, a pint is too much too keep cold.

Drinking a World Wide... such a great sipper.

Why America is running out of aluminum cans

Can manufacturing might be backed up, but with hundreds of commercial aircraft being retired, we shouldn't have any shortages of scrap aluminium any time soon.

Black Tuesday ... so fantastic

Sure is. I have one bottle left from 2015. In 2015 it was very hot, but still very enjoyable. This past fall I opened the 2nd bottle and it was mellowed out and absolutely delicious.

Just discovered my local beer & wine shop stocks the three annual Russian River brews.

If you feel like testing out how well the us postal service works, give me a shout

They also apparently stock Copperage beers, which before I discovered El Segundo Brewing was my clear favorite IPA.

Just ordered 2020 Chocolate Rain.

Going to do a 17, 18, 19, 20 flight.

Creature comforts opening a brewery in LA for all you lucky California folks.

Tried the M-43 again to ight, liked it better than the first time but still not my favorite.

Enjoyed a nice Transmitter W4 Gose last night. Really enjoyed.

Any good scuttlebutt on the Oktoberfest options this year? It's Marzen time, dodints.

Sierra Nevada and Great Lakes are both good as always. I'd say of the last three years, Sierra Nevada has fallen in greatness and Great Lakes has really upped theirs as far as Oktoberfests go. Fat Head's has a pretty darn decent one as well, plus it's in cans which is awesome.

I enjoy Victory Festbier as well.

Penn is always great, I always grab a case of Brooklyn's. Going to be trying some warsteiners and troegs this weekend

Yes. Festbier was good as well. I got a mixed six pack of a bunch of Oktoberfests. The Festbier was very drinkable, but didn't really stick out, thus not recalling it.

Hm, I think I'll go Great Lakes first. Don't recall trying that one.

Thanks, gents.

Good choice. Probably my favorite in that style from US breweries.

Drinking a 2017 Do Happens It's Tuesday. My last one except for a vertical that I am saving. So much better than any Octoberfest option.

Marzens are probably a Top 3 beer style for me. So good.

The Hofbrau Oktoberfest is enjoyable too.

Paulaner has my favorite Oktoberfest beer.

I'm sure this will be shocking, but I am partial to Weihenstephaner's Festbier. It doesn't necessarily taste like the average Oktoberfest, but it is damn good.

One that I got to try a couple years back but is no longer made is Avery's The Kaiser... it was an "imperial oktoberfest"... it was really damn good (and 8% to boot).
