Had some copper legends, pretty good beer. Would run over an antifa for one.

also speedway stout is great. you ever try the Labryinth Black Ale from Uinta's crooked line series? one of the best IRS/double stouts imo

had it. it was ok. the heaviness was appreciated.

I bought a wicked pricy speedway in a can, but mckinnons had them in a bottle that was bigger than a bomber. that was very price worthy for 13%.

Had a beer yesterday before the boxing match.
Know that cereal Special K that has the dehydrated strawberries in it? This literally tasted like a liquid version of it. Was awesome.
White Birch Brewing Small Batch Ale Strawberry Berliner Weisse.

I can answer this. A year or two ago, BBC underwent a gradual rebranding of some of their offerings and packaging. For instance- Berkshire Ale became "Hoosac Tunnel Amber Ale"; BBC Maibock became "Slue's Maibock Lager". Other beers like draymans porter and steel rail stayed the same but with updated labelling. I too was dismayed to see no Oktoberfest on the shelves because Imo it's the best domestic Oktoberfest. Good heavy body and with a creaminess most okt lagers didn't possess. They do however have BBC "Life On Märzen" out on shelves. A Märzen is a different term for Oktoberfest (obviously) so I bought one to try it. It's similar but really not. Doesn't have the dead leaves taste and the creamy body. My guess is that they changed their recipe a bit and rebranded it. It's not nearly as good.
tl;dr Oktoberfest became "Life On Märzen" and there's something different about it which makes it not as good.
As far as pumpkin beers that don't taste like synthetic bullshit,
Pumpkin Imperial Spruce Stout by Rock Art Brewing
Fisherman's Pumpkin Stout by Cape Ann Brewing
The Great Pumpkin by Elysian Brewing
Barrel-Aged Xibalba (:doublehorns
by Wicked Weed Brewing
Good Gourd Imperial Pumpkin by Cigar City (good luck finding it)

Southern Tier Warlock pumpkin stout was alright this year too.
I know a lot of people hate the Pumking (on an off note), but I'm a fan. only 1 per year though. It's too cloying for more.

Found Life On Marzen, will buy more.

yeah. there really fucking are. when i go to the store now, i'm overwhelmed by choices i have never heard of from all over new england. when i take a risk, i'm satisfied maybe 30% of the time. in addition, now that the craft scene has blown up even larger, there's a ton of outdated IPA/DIPA bottles/cans on the shelves because of how much selection there is and the clerks/managers don't care to police it. i got burned on old IPA's a couple times before implementing the #1 new rule which is check the born-on date before even considering anything.
and breweries- for the love of god, stop it with the "new england style" hazy IPA's. shit's outplayed already. (p.s. Fort Hill fresh pick + jigsaw jazz are the best of that style that i've tried)

yes, even the classic townie packies nearby are starting to have dedicated coolers for IPAs. the prices are insane and the quality is suspect on a lot of these.
trillium's PM Dawn coffee stout = :doublehorns:

been wanting to try trillium for awhile. my immediate area doesn't appear to have any, though i haven't tried provisions in northampton or whole foods in hadley. maybe i'm too far west.
anyone try treehouse? i only tried the sierra nevada/tree collab. was OK but not mind blowing. i heard tell that every weekend, dudes in horn rimmed glasses line up to buy beer at treehouse.

yes, the beers are pretty good but the tree house experience is totally ripped from the pages of Stuff White People Like:

southern tier pumking is already in stock. crazy.
picked up 2 of them and they're now in some weird bottle between a bomber and a pint. way better than in past years but still not much pumpkin flavor.
grabbed a lefty's oktoberfest and a sixer of Sierra Nevadas 2018 Oktoberfest collaboration. all was decent.
Ayinger Oktoberfest rules as always.
