The one above is Blue Point Pumpkin

This one is Sierra Nevada Octoberfest you recommended.

I see it now. That Blue Point sounds good. I'd take a flyer on it. Unfortunately, I can't get any Blue Point by me, which sucks! Let me know how you like it and glad you were able to find the Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest. I hope you enjoy that as well. I actually purchased the one underneath it the other day (The Harpoon Dunkin' Dozen). I only bought it to try the Dunkin'' Pumpkin but I also liked the Jelly Donut IPA surprisingly (I don't typically like IPA's). I haven't tried the other 2 yet but I doubt I'll like them as they're a stout and the other a porter.

After 8 the stores can not sell beer anymore all cafes and bars are also closed the coming weeks. It sucks but still drinking Veltins in this partial lockdown.

This one is pretty good.

Gulpener Gladiator is a powerful 10% beer . It is a strong bottom fermented beer, a Lager.

Never heard of it or seen it by me unfortunately.

That looks good H.

i12 , surprised you do not like the porter being you are a whisky drinker.

I had the porter as well and wasn't a fan. I don't care for porters or IPA's, which was why I was surprised I liked the Jelly Donut IPA. Stout's I don't particularly like either save for Guinness. Actually purchased another 12 pack today so I could have another one on stand-by because my stores been terrible at restocking. I purchased a 6 pack of Shipyard's Pumpkinhead and when I went to go back to pick up another, they said they weren't getting any more until next year. I said are you kidding me!? One delivery and that's it for the year? I know this stuff is seasonal but they've always received multiple delivers (or at least always restock the shelf) when the items out. And this is Total Wine, a major retailer. Not some Mom & Pop shop. So I didn't take the chance and grabbed another Dunkin' pack today.

My local guy has tons of Shipyard Sam Oct and many others.

He spoils me.

Dang it! Can't even find it at other stores by me.

Grolsch Kanon is also nice once in a while, it is a lager with an alcohol content of 11.6%. Grolsch Kanon is a specialty beer with a sweet taste, a powerful and robust beer that owes its character to the double fermentation at high temperatures. Brewed since 1997.

Saw Sam Adams Winter Lager in the store today so I had to grab it. Eagerly awaiting for their White Christmas ale to drop as that's my 2nd favorite variety that they make.

Love the Winter and I love the Feziwig Ale that will come in the variety 12-pk.

The Feziwig Ale isn't in the variety 12 pack this year. I know, I was surprised too. Bought another Winter Lager 6 pack today and another of the Harpoon Dunkin 12 packs before my store ran out.

WTF...... are you sure........ the Holiday variety 12pk?

I have not seen them yet at my local but if the Fez is not in there I am canceling Christmas.

Yup, it's Boston Lager, Sam '76, Winter Lager, Holiday White Ale (New this year), American IPA, and Holiday Porter

So the Sam Adams White Christmas is now called the Holiday White Ale (probably because Christmas was "too offensive.") Grabbed a 6-pack today and I'll grab another tomorrow. Haven't had one yet, so don't worry but my usual spot's been running low on supplies so I'm grabbing them while they're there. Think the pandemic they're not getting as much as they have in the past and I've already made the mistake with the Shipyard Pumpkinhead to not wait too long if I want to grab another because once they're out, they're out until next year.

That is Fucked up.

I didn't take any chances and stocked up. Grabbed 3 6-packs of each!

Nice.... you are The Man.

This is what I stock up on in New York when I'm up for the holidays. But since I'm not going up now, might as well stock up here and not take the chance it'll all be gone. So this will last me at least into next month. But I LOVE these beers and look forward to them all year round so you can never have too much.

Hertog Jan again pretty tipsy

I found some of the last Coney iSLAND MERMAID PILSNERS till next summer... took them all.

Will miss Feziwig this year but will try to find something to replace.

I may be getting some nice Euro beers soon., look forward to seeing the batch ...they are random.

Did you ever track down those German beers? I'm surprised Sam didn't have the Feziwig in their variety pack this year. I'd give the "Holiday White Ale" (formerly White Christmas) a try from Sam Adams. I love it. The Winter Lager's good as well IMO.

I did, I think I took a pic of that German Brew, I do like the Sam Winter, will have to give the Holiday white another try.

Good luck, let me know what you think. What did you think about the German beers honestly?

Some are skunk, other are bold and full flavor.

I had Heineken from Holland and it tasted much better than the Heineken they sell here in the states.

I like Czech beer

Which German beers did you get? Curious which one's were skunky and which one's you liked?

I have a bunch of Euro beers that will show up soon for the Holidays, its an annual gift.
They are mostly very good.

The skunks beers I was mentioning are Becks and St. Paulie Girl.

Becks and St. Paulie Girl I've not huge on. Were you ever able to try Spaten or Paulaner?

Yes, both very good.

My local just got a shipment of Coney Island Mermaid Pilsner in and I will be getting those regularly now.
They also received a new batch of Montauk Driftwood Ale that was out of production for a while, I will post a pic when I get them while picking up some Sam Adams for the holiday.
Always drink and serve Sam Adams Lager on TGD at my house TGD.
