The first project to come out of the legendary plastic-lined tanks of the Bearded Brewing Co. in a couple of years, this Oktoberfest lager should be just right as we celebrate All Hallows Eve here in the sovereign nation of Squirrelandia. In a bid to brew more often, the humble brewmaster has very nearly convinced himself to take The Pledge and drink no beer at home but his own. That might mean going without now and then. A disgusting prospect, but the kind of dreadful scenario that often spurs men to heroic action.
What to name such a brew? Octo-Beard-Fest? The Lager of Beery Catholics?... ?
How about "Bellocsterlager: A Hilaire-ious Drink". Or "Stagger to Rome".
Whatever you end up with, you should print: "After Mass, Pour Me a Glass" on the bottom of the labels. (You are making labels and bringing these to all your social functions, right? Hahaha...)

Hi Tim,
BellOctober Fest? Not super original...
Did you say it will be ready in a few years?

If four men show up at your place after spending the month of October walking across Arkansas (or Surrey,) would you provide them a pint?

Just show up, John... no need to walk! But if you do decide to walk, please feel free help yourself to whatever is in the fridge.
