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 Porch Pirate by Big Rock Brewery at Liberty Commons at Big Rock BreweryNot as big & juicy as most NEIPAs, but still sufficiently tropical with good balance. Sometimes a bit of subtlety is appreciated.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monogamy (HBC 522) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinCitrus notes up front, herbal backnote with odd hint of cherry candy. An interesting hop strain, hope to try more beers brewed with it.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monogamy (Sasquatch) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinI feel like a bad Canadian beer fan for saying it but I don’t find that Sasquatch hops work well in single hop beers. Too earthy, I think.
- Greg C. is drinking a Double Jutsu by Bellwoods Brewery at King & Dufferin5 day old can & the best this beer has ever been. Big, bright aroma & flavour of orange & apricot & a bit of mango. Long finish. Delish!
- Greg C. is drinking an Epiphany No. 1 by Black Oak Brewing Company at King & Dufferin4.5 years old, aged beautifully. Dark malt, dried cherry, raisin, port, light notes of oak & leather. Barely a hint of booze. Excellent!
