Oaktoberfest Kegs Released Today

Hi Everybody

We will be shipping our New Oaktoberfest to select bars in Toronto.

Its an unfiltered organic oktoberfest (Oaktoberfest) using all German ingredients.

We only made a half batch just to test the beer and see what people think.

Unfortunately since we drank a lot out of the tank we will only have a limited amount of bottled Oaktoberfest ready once our labels get printed.

WE WILL ONLY BE SELLING THE BOTTLED OAKTOBERFEST ONCE WE HAVE RECEIVED OUR NEW LABELS. ONCE THEY ARE ON THE BOTTLES THEN I WILL POST THAT THEY ARE READY FOR SALE FROM OUR RETAIL STORE ONLY.


Sorry to yell but sometimes people don't pay attention.

So far the Oaktoberfest will be distributed to:
Beer Bistro
C'est What
The Embassy
Twisted Kilt

we hope you enjoy.

Cheers
Ken

Sweet stuff, Ken! I'll be at the brewery the day you release those bottles - it was handsdown my favourite beer from C'est What's Fall Fest.

Ken, nice work on getting it into The Embassy - one of my more frequented bars, and a pretty solid tap list. I'll see you at the brewery the first day those bottles are available. Like Bobsy, it was also my favourite of the C'est What fest...

I think my vision must be going fucking whacky. I don't see a London location for this beer. Hell, not one southwestern locale at all. WHAT GIVES YO? :D

Hi again and thanks for the encouragement.

A few more bars will be getting the Oaktoberfest:

Twisted Kilt
The Rhino

We only have a half batch and did not plan on too wide a distribution.
Just testing the waters (and trying to get someone else's opinions and sorry for drinking so much and limiting the public supply!!!!)

Next year we plan on an earlier release with a larger volume.

This year Murphy's law ruled with lots of equipment issues (GRRRRRRR!!!)

Cheers
Ken

Well if you can't enjoy what you brew, what is the motivation for doing it exactly? :D

I remember the early Mill Street days, some of the one-offs were widely enjoyed by staff as much as anybody. Perhaps this very style...

Enjoyed the Oktoberfest at BeerBistro, it was very drinkable! I honestly have no idea what an Oktoberfest style is supposed to taste like, but I liked this beer ;)

THEY ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE.

WHEN WE HAVE RECEIVED OUR LABELS AND HAVE FINISHED THE PACKAGING THEN AND ONLY THEN WILL THEY BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE.

very sorry about the confusion.

I will put up a post when they will be ready.
