nice to see the Garrison coming in, and I did enjoy the Sam Adams last year. I have to admit though, I was massively unimpressed with Paulaner last year.

From what I understand, yes, that's their fall release to the LCBO.

Yum!

As well as Waterloo Amber, a Märzen-style beer brewed with rye and whisky malts. Pootz says it's Brick's best offering since they're now-retired Bock.

any idea what the garrison will be priced at?

I'm hoping the Paulaner is the real amber marzen they sell at the fest grounds and not the light helles they sell to the schmucks as Oktoberfest beer. I was hoping Spaten Marzen would show up this year.

Does Paulaner still serve the Marzen at the fest? I've read that most of the brewers actually serve a Helles now.

I was at Oktoberfest in Munich in 2008. I went to tents from Paulaner, Augustiner, Lowenbrau, and Spaten. All were serving their "Oktoberfest beer", but non appeared to be the marzen style. They looked like a light coloured helles from a visual standpoint, but with a bigger, stronger, more malty taste than standard Helles...and the higher alc strength typical of the Oktoberfest style. I can't say I saw any beers on the Oktoberfest grounds that were the copper colour I associate with the Marzen style.
