Pretty sure it is the lighter product...Wiesn Bier. Kind of a shame, but I'm sure you'll feel like less of a schmuck with a full liter in you.

Yeah, it's the light stuff. Same as last year. Weak beer, strong glass.

I had the Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest at West 50 this past week. Not bad for a lager.

Overlapping Oktoberfest feature, OCB feature, Halloween release and Autumn release. Who do these LCBO people think they are?

Dunno. They really like to drink heavily & appreciate fall colors?

Wow, Dundurn ordered 120 of something? That won't sell out in a day! Hell must have frozen over.
