Hi lads,

I had the Erdinger Oktoberfest out in a pub a while back and it was seriously nice, would anyone know what the most similar erdinger would be to it seeing as its not available anymore as below. Cheers

Dark Märzen-style version of this wonderful wheat been brewed seasonally for the Oktoberfest in the town of Erding. Top-fermented, 5.7% ABV. AVAILABLE EARLY SEPTEMBER UNTIL OUR ALLOTMENT IS GONE.

You can get bottles of it in o'briens offy and my local offy

Theres still loads of it left in my local offie. I tried it a couple of weeks back after a couple of Brooklyn Lagers and hated it but tried it again at the weekend and it wasnt half bad.

Dunno who you're quoting there, but Erdinger Oktoberfest is generally in Irish offies for a while.

brewed seasonally in our enormous factory for the Oktoberfest in the town of Erding and for the rest of the planet

Fixed

For something along similar lines, try one of the other Oktoberfest wheat beers, like Schneider Edel-Weiss.

Its not bad - better than standard Erdinger.

Ive recently been going for Weihenstephan or the old reliable Franziskaner

Good for him. I hope his sales patter was better than his pricing policy.

Ah yeah - we were just talking about oktoberfest versions of beers and he mentioned it. He didnt have any on sale, and at the price he was suggesting we both came to the conclusion that noone would be buying it.

On an aside - that store you linked to, have you dealt with them before ? Might put in an order.

Only in person -- I work nearby. Though I've heard good reports about the delivery service.
