Still not many Oktoberfest beers out. Yuengling and Leinenkugel's were not that great.Bell's was better. I do not like Sam Adams Octoberfest. No Sierra Nevada/ German collaboration this year. So sad. The Sierra Nevada/ Riegele collaboration was my favorite. Hacker Pschorr is in a brown bottle unlike some German offerings. True Oktoberfest lager is made in Munich. Dont risk green bottle skunked beer. Great Lakes is very malty but good. Left Hand Marzen is American but exceptionally good. Hits the spot for me. Weihenstephaner Festbier is more like a Pilsener but it is nice too. Just different
I have tried some more but that covers it well enough. Oh , Ballast point Dead Ringer is an odd one but not all that bad. Given a choice, Hacker Pshorr and Left Hand are the winners for me although I like to experiment. Other Munich okto-beers would be in my fridge if I could find any in brown bottles. American and German Oktoberfest beers are not the same.
