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 Barn Owl (No. 18) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinGood balance of tart passionfruit & mildly funky sour ale, with supporting notes of oak, lemon, stonefruit & pineapple. Sharp & satisfying.
- Greg C. is drinking a Social Parade DDH IPA by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingOh, that’s dank. And delicious. Lotsa grapefruit, some ripe peach, hint of spruce. Drinks dangerously quickly for the abv.
- Greg C. is drinking a Sitting Pretty APA by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingDelivers the dominant citrus promised in the description, along with some pine and a peppery backnote, perhaps from the rye.
- Greg C. is drinking a Raspberry Lemon Rosemary Kennel Sour by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingStarts with raspberry, with lemon coming through in the middle, and rosemary sitting nicely in the finish. Super summer beverage.
- Greg C. is drinking a Li'l Hobo Hefeweizen by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingNot as hazy as I expect from the style - it’s more Kristall than Hefe - but the banana & clove notes are there, along with a bit of lemon.
