ST. JOHN’S, NL – Quidi Vidi Brewing has released the latest new offering in its series of rotating seasonal beers.
Oktoberfest Lager is a 5.5% abv beer that is briefly described as follows:
Brewed in the Bavarian tradition, this malty light amber lager celebrates the greatest beer festival on Earth.
According to a thread discussing the beer on BeerThief.ca, it was brewed using nine different malts, three hops, and a blend of Bavarian lager yeasts.
Quidi Vidi Oktoberfest was launched last week at NLC Liquor Stores throughout Newfoundland and Labrador, where it will be available in six packs of bottles while supplies last.

- Greg C. is drinking a Venskab by Beau's All Natural Brewing Company at King & DufferinClose to 7 years old but still in great condition. Well carbonated, notes of pineapple and oaked white wine, dry & peppery finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Wiseman’s Weizenbock by Mill Street Brewery at King & DufferinUpfront malty sweetness, notes of banana bread & raisin & cocoa & dried cherry, medium bodied, hint of booze. Well made & right on style.
- Greg C. is drinking a Heir Apparent by Lickinghole Creek Craft Brewery at King & DufferinPepper beers aren’t usually my thing but this is an exception. Great balance to all the flavours and abv is not obvious at all. Impressive!
- Greg C. is drinking a Tripel Thread by Kensington Brewing Company at King & Dufferin11 months old. I tend to prefer my Tripels on the drier side, but this is still a pretty good one. Tart gooseberry notes cut the sweetness.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monogamy (Callista) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot very familiar with Callista hops but they work well here, bringing notes of apricot, gooseberry, blueberry & a slight floral edge.
