Fall Beer Season (and the End of Oktoberfest)


Some of my friends and family know that I like to drink. I wouldn't consider myself a drunkard or an alcoholic, but I like the taste of beer, and usually have it with food and / or in a social setting. That being said, I do have preferences of what I do like to drink.
 

I enjoy wine while eating. I will also drink some wine while playing some board games with some friends, as it's an alcohol to 'take your time' with, as as some board games can last hours rather than minutes, you can take your time with wine. With some alcohol like beer, if it becomes warm when it's meant to be chilled, it just doesn't taste the same. 

I love beer. I don't 'drink to get drunk', I drink to enjoy what it is I am drinking. 

Anyway, this post is covering the Oktoberfest (though it may be finishing-ish by time of this posting) and fall beer season. 

My three favorite craft breweries are Muskoka, Mill St, and Beau's. 

 

First up, is Mill St's Autumn Harvest set. What is found inside is 'Nightmare on Mill St' (a pumpkin and spice amber ale) and 'Oktoberfest Beer' which is a lager.



However it's Beau's who really went all-out for the fall and Oktoberfest seasons. 

Now, I'm new to following beau's so beer with me. My info may not be totally spot-on in regards to how some of these beers are pacakged. Here are some of the Beau's beers, as per their site:

Nite Marzen: http://www.beaus.ca/beer/seasonals/night_marzen

(Wil Oats Series) No. 5 Opa's Gose: http://www.beaus.ca/beer/wild_oats/opas_gose

Oktoberfest Mix Pack (Smoking Banana Peels (Rauch Weissbier), Two Weeks Notice (German Porter), Mr. Hyde (Roggenbier), and Oktobock!) : http://www.beaus.ca/store/beer/oktoberfest-mix-pack

(included in Oktoberfest Mix Pack) 

Smokin' Banana Peels: http://www.beaus.ca/store/beer/smokin-banana-peels 

Two Week's Notice: http://www.beaus.ca/store/beer/two-weeks-notice 

If I'm not mistaken, you can only get Mr Hyde and Oktobock! in the Oktoberfest set.

As you can see, quite a bit of selection from them for this time of year. They usually have their Lug Tread Lager, plus one seasonal (again, as far as I know).

As ever, drink responsibly (no driving after! Not till your sober), and enjoy! 

[I'll do another beer post when the 'season' changes]

The Tolkien Signature Paperback Collection: Master Listing

Image
  Recently, HarperCollins has been re-issuing most of the Tolkien titles in a new paperback style. Since that a vast majority of these share ISBNs with other covers, eventually the older covers will be replaced with the new. I wanted to provide head's up for that. If ordered via Amazon UK, Blackwell's, or Waterstones, you'll very likely have the newer/Signature cover. If possible, it may be best to actually visit  the bookstore so you can see which one they actually have on their shelves.   This post is a Master Post, collecting ISBNs of the titles released in this style. I have made them into 'groups' or 'sets' for ease of reference, as well as possibly assist in purchasing them, if one were to get more than one book at once. Over the course of time, this post will get updated. Once a new title comes to this format, I'll do a separate blog post focusing on that title; and provide it's ISBN, cover art, and description. Enough of these have come out t...

An Update

So I bet you're wondering how The Saga of Kalvel is coming.  It's going well, but slow. I'm not putting into as much time writing the series as I'd like. It's still being thought of in my head, and I'm only able to get to it part time, but I'm still planning and writing at the same time. This weekend I'm hoping to binge through some.  I'm working on the third chapter for one character, and would like to start the first chapter for another character. I begun as early as Dec. 2011, and my deadline is August of 2016, but so far I have approx about 40 completed manuscript pages that I'm thinking of going back to until the first draft is completely done.  Now. That's manuscript pages.  If I were total everything I'd ever written about Kalvel, it would be closer to around 100 (give or takr about 15 either direction, some things are in various states.) I've said before and again that the most difficult vo...
