Haven't seen the Harvest Ale, but I'll keep an eye out for it, despite my fear of snappy geese.The Beer Nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14105708522526153528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-67415651962907145562007-10-31T14:35:00.000+00:002007-10-31T14:35:00.000+00:00Do you, by chance, have access to Goose Island bee...Do you, by chance, have access to Goose Island beers? They scrapped their Oktoberfest this year in favor of their Harvest Ale. It's a pleasantly snappy, very sessionable ESB, I believe. <BR/><BR/>Just stumbled onto your blog by way of beermapping.com. Always good to read another account of the good beer experience.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13308740746597839624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-73068637324187923952007-10-29T14:50:00.000+00:002007-10-29T14:50:00.000+00:00I agree that the Samuel Adamses aren't in the same...I agree that the Samuel Adamses aren't in the same class as Kwak or Aventinus: I didn't intend to imply that. Problem is, this workmanlike beer is in the same price bracket as the imports from Belgium, Germany and the like, which in turn has an effect on drinkers' expectations.<BR/><BR/>It's all the fault of Irish excise law.

Aventinus and Kwak are superb; Sam Adams is workmanlike. <BR/>I have not had this year's iteration, but they are slightly different from year to year.
