Edited: Actually, it doesn't look like you can get it nationwide. (
http://www.berkshirebrewingcompany.com/products.html). It appears that they only have New England distribution. But, if you do happen to see it, definitely give it a try. It's absolutely worth it, especially the Oktoberfest.
If your husband sees Thomas Hooker Oktoberfest, he should give that a try as well. As good as the Sam Adams is, Hooker makes a fantastic Oktoberfest as well. In fact, if you see any of the Hooker Ales, you should try them (especially the double bock, the pale ale and the Oktoberfest). One of the few perks of living in CT is having easy access to those ales.

Pretty much everything brewed by Clipper City Brewing Co.- I especially like the Heavy Seas line of beers. My favorite is Small Craft Warning. They call it an "Uber Pils" http://www.ccbeer.com
I also like Flying Dog. I believe they are headquartered out of Co, but they have a brewery here in Frederick. One of my good friends apprenticed here. He's the head brewer at one of our local microbrews now  My favorite Flying Dog is Old Scratch, an Amber Lager http://www.flyingdogales.com
And if its cheap Im looking for, I cant go wrong with the PBR. Please no one blast me for that. PBR rocks! |
Flying Dog is good stuff - there was a place in Boston, Sunset, that had it on tap. I haven't had it in a while, simply because I can't find it that often in Connecticut.
As for PBR - anyone with a true appreciation of good beer will tell you that PBR is the best of the cheap American brews. It completely blows Bud, Coors, and the rest of that junk out of the water.
