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 191 Mӓrzen - Across the Nation by Red Racer at King & DufferinProperly malty with notes of breadcrust and caramel, herbal hops to balance. About 9 months from canning but it held up surprisingly well.
- Greg C. is drinking a Three Ring Circus by Block Three Brewing Co. at King & Dufferin3+ years old & showing its age so forgoing a rating to be fair. Seems like there’s probably a good beer behind the oxidization, though.
- Greg C. is drinking an Imagination Experiment Root Beer Stout by Dominion City Brewing Co. at Bar Hop BrewcoAroma & flavour are all about the root beer. Which is just fine for a root beer fanatic like me. Might be a bit much for others.
- Greg C. is drinking a Leave No Trace Pale Ale by Dominion City Brewing Co. at Bar Hop BrewcoHazy straw yellow. Light bodied, grainy character with top notes of citrus peel & green hop. “Crushable” I suppose but not much beyond that.
- Greg C. is drinking a Pineapple Tangerine Grapefruit Jelly King by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinBase beer is great as always, and the flavours promised on the label all come through, especially tangerine. The King never disappoints.
