Yeah. It was released a month early and is availible now. They over produced the summer brew last year and didn't want to do it again this season, so it was cut short, sold out and the October was released early. Sorry, but walking in and seeing an October beer on a 94 degree August day was a big fail in my book......

To me, it's like being able to buy the 2013 models in April of 2012......and depending on where you live, October fest is a cool weather beer, not a "so hot my sack is stuck to my leg brew".

or he just measures his alcohol consumption in gallons? I wish I could buy it in a growler



Being able to buy my favorite beer a month early, I have no problem with that. Maybe it's because I see 70 degree weather at Thanksgiving, so waiting for it to get cold doesn't make sense to me.
