Here’s a good one if you like hazy wheat beers.

Old photos, but I had some of this Octoberfest-style beer while vacationing in Michigan's Upper Peninsula last week (and we're still there until next Saturday ):

That interesting, I’ve never heard of that, what’s around the rim?

Now that’s an eye catching can Gary, hope the beer lived up to the can.

Tajin. It's a Mexican seasoning. Kinda salty, spicy and a hint of lime.

That sounds delicious, I’ll have to keep my eyes open for that, thanks!

Todd, all the Keweenaw Brewing Company beers I've tried come in very interesting cans, some including UP mining history.
The Red Jacket is a good one IMHO, with the "lightly hopped" being a key feature. Actually, I'm quite a fan of the Märzen-style Oktoberfest beers in general, and almost always find my first Oktoberfest while on vacation in the UP in August. Late last week, I noticed that Sam Adams Octoberfest had appeared in the local grocery store, so I have some of those in the fridge this week (along with some peanut butter stout). Old photo:

Fall is a great time for beers, although I have to say I’m not a big fan of all the pumpkin stuff that will be coming out soon.

Bring on the octoberfest beers.

Bring on the octoberfest beers.

Agree with both of you!
I'll try to stock up on Oktoberfest beers and hope I can enjoy them until Christmas, and I'll avoid the pumpkin ales as another example of the fruity beers I don't especially care for.

Saw some Octoberfest Brews at the store....gonna pick some up soon!

I never thought I'd be be a flavored-beer guy. I never thought I'd be a knife guy, either. I'll need a few more beers and knives just to be sure.

Everytime I see pumpkin beer I think of the Bill Burr Sam Adams SNL skit

Yooper beer? I have a couple of friends from almost the UP... I learned a lot about that neck of the woods from them. Like "The Second Week of Deer Camp"..... that kind of thing....

Jack Black I was just thinking the same.
This American single malt...despite tasting notes describing every flavour known to man...jumps out of the glass...punches you in the head...and burns rubber down your throat....cheers.

It’s Friday folks! Here’s to the weekend! Another favorite from Logboat Brewery. The package and the can was what caught my eye, and it turned out to be a really nice beer. Cheers!

Tried a 6-pack of this stout this week while away on vacation. I like most stouts, but this one had a strange aftertaste that didn't thrill me. I think the taste was intentionally a strong hint of Nutter Butter wafers, but I didn't especially like it "contaminating" my stout. (Actually, I don't think I've ever had Nutter Butter wafers, but I've had Little Debbie Nutty Bars (now called Nutty Buddy, I think) and the stout definitely had a taste of that with each swallow.)
