IS FREAKING AWESOME THIS YEAR JUST LIKE EVERY YEAR!!!!!!!


I don’t know, but it’s something about it’s crisp maltiness, firm hop flavor, bitterness and clean, dry palate that gets me this time of year. It seems to drop off around June when the really warm weather shows up, but during April and May this beer ROCKS! It’s not super complex or even interesting, but it’s still one of my favorite seasonals from any brewery.

Wow. Crickets on this one? Nobody else is excited about Summerfest?

Funny. (Didn’t I start doing this a couple years ago? You need to add some "!?!?!?!" after the beer name to get people interested in it, I think.) I like it okay. Personally, I think they should consider replacing it with Snow Wit, perhaps renamed. Anyhow, I like Snow Wit better as a potential summer beer.

As of yesterday I had to turn my heat back on. Definitely not in summer beer mode yet.

Has a little too much personality for a premium lager or a summer beer, JMHO.

I’ve had exactly one bottle of summerfest but I loved every drop of it. Wish I could buy that one here in Ontario.

Yes! That was you! I was going to give you credit for for the style, but I couldn’t remember who does this. Thanks!

Weren’t your threads usually about Bigfoot though?

They should put it in cans.

I need to revisit it. It’s been a few years since I’ve had one.

Anyway, shouldn’t Octoberfest beers be coming out soon?

Certainly the best widely available beer ever brewed ;)
