catesta Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Posted October 4, 2005 hehe No chance, the place was packed, inside and out. The cops actually showed up twice in response to noise complaints. Management ended up shutting the doors and windows so you couldn't hear the band outside. Maren may have been the one that complained since I didn't call to let her know I was going to be there. Of course I would have called if I knew we are going to make a stop in her neighborhood. Quote
couw Posted October 6, 2005 Report Posted October 6, 2005 Still October and the Bock has arrived! Yummmm!! Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted October 6, 2005 Report Posted October 6, 2005 Could be good.....could be bad? You'd better send over a few bottles so that I can make the proper determination and place it in the correct category Quote
couw Posted October 6, 2005 Report Posted October 6, 2005 It's not the best, their Frühlingsbock, which is helles, is much better. This one is good for a dark Bock though, in spite of a tad too much alcohol in the smell. Those bottles are mighty hefty, security glass or whatever, and no cans available. Posting this stuff across the pond costs an arm and a leg. Better you wrap yourself in some brown paper and send here. and BTW, Oettinger is the stuff that only the students and the assis drink. It not only costs just 40 cents a bottle, it also has very little bubbles and so you can drink it much faster than other beer. Cheap thrills! Quote
Aggie87 Posted October 6, 2005 Report Posted October 6, 2005 Oettinger!! Used to be able to buy a "kiste" of Oettinger for less than half of what a good rack cost. And the good getraenkemarkts never sold it anyway, in my area!! Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted October 6, 2005 Report Posted October 6, 2005 Me and bock beer do not agree... too much sugar and/or alcohol. I get the kind of hangover where you think you're better off without a head. A local store got in Hofbrau House's Oktoberfest bier. How is it? Their "regular" beer (a Helles?) never impressed me. Seemed like it was brewed for the tourists. Kevin Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted October 6, 2005 Report Posted October 6, 2005 Hey, all of us poor students in Bayern drank Oettinger 22 years ago! You buy it to store out on the ledge at night to keep cool...and you don't feel bad about lost money if a bottle slips off the ledge and smashes below. Actually, the Hefeweisse isn't all that bad. Kevin, I just had a keg of the helles and it was fantastic. Sadly, it's drained.....awaiting transport in my trunk back to the distributor. Would have made a nice back cover photo for the 1st cd.

BruceH Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 Shouldn't they have this thing in October? Quote
7/4 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 Shouldn't they have this thing in October? next week. . Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 Shouldn't they have this thing in October? It ends on the first weekend in October. It's a tradition. Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 Shouldn't they have this thing in October? The bulk of it is in Sept. due mainly to decent weather.......in some years it actually ends on Oct. 3 or 4. Weird, I know. Quote
Uncle Skid Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 Bud light for everyone. with lime! Quote
