It's that time of year again, every beer producer worth their salt is producing an "Oktober Fest" version of their house lager. In the picture above there are a couple I tried this weekend from non-German producers, on the left a collaboration between three breweries, two American and one Swedish then on the right hand side we have a UK Fest bier from Leeds based Northern Monk. Both very good, excellent levels of malty bread notes and crispness on the front end. Nice noble hoppage and the Omnipollo (LHS) a delicious lime/citrus vibe, I think lagers have come on leaps and bounds in this country and elsewhere since the horrors of the 80s and 90s (i.e. Coors, Carling and Stella) long may the trend continue.
