Octoberfest - What are you drinking?

mosesbotbol · 09-21-2010, 06:01 PM

That time of year again. I bought this today and proud to say we killed it! Really great beer and quite the party as it we had are way with it.

kugie · 09-21-2010, 06:16 PM

Looks like a good start to the day.

chippewastud79 · 09-21-2010, 06:46 PM

Had some of it at the Hofbrauhaus near our house this weekend. Fabulous in mugs the size of your head

jledou · 09-21-2010, 07:25 PM

That gives me a great idea for tailgating this Sunday.

ODLS1 · 09-21-2010, 08:47 PM

I still need to pick one of those up. Great Lakes is solid this year. Haven't tried much else. I need to pick up 1 of each.

bigdix · 09-22-2010, 01:32 AM

Paulaner (like a 40oz can or something?) and Sam Adams are what's on the table these days!

BigCat · 09-22-2010, 04:34 AM

I've blown through a few 12 packs of Sam Adams.

Schlafly doesn't do it for me this year. I seem to remember it as better in years past.
However, the Ayinger Marzen is phenomenal!

This man speaks the truth!

Paulaner, Haacker Pschorr, and Spaten all make great Marzens!

hammondc · 09-22-2010, 05:32 AM

Spaten Optimator

awsmith4 · 09-22-2010, 07:22 AM

The only one I've bought this yer so far is local called Red Brick Oktobeerfest which turned out to be really good. I will be buying more this week and next. The Paulander, Hofbrau, and Ayinger areon my short list...as well as many others. On a side note a new biergarten is opening not far from me and I hope it will be open in time for Oktoberfest.

BlackDog · 09-22-2010, 08:44 AM

I've had the Paulaner Octoberfest Marzen, which was wonderful, and some Schell's Octoberfest, which was also quite good. I picked up one of those huge Paulaner glass mugs and the 1 ligter can of Wiesn Bier.

Moses, how does that mini-keg work? Does the tap come already attached?

Yes there is. First, open a cyphon on the top then pull out the tap and turn the nozzle. It comes out on slow side and is easy to get a thick head.

$20 out the door.

Doctorossi · 09-22-2010, 09:33 AM

Schneider Aventinus on draught- nothing like it.

Dave128 · 09-22-2010, 09:35 AM

The contents of that mini-keg looks like a tasty breakfast.

awsmith4 · 09-22-2010, 08:38 PM

Picked up some Ayinger Marzen and Spaten Optimator. Saw Hofbrau but not the mini keg so I will check some other stores before I settle on bottles.

Jbailey · 09-22-2010, 08:43 PM

One Octoberfest beer I like is New Glarus Staghorn.

Might have to hit the Essen Haus for boot of beer.

hammondc · 09-22-2010, 08:48 PM

Keep the glass night @ the joint donw the street. Official Spaten Okctoberfest mug. One Liter. Thats Spaten Optimator inside.

mobarbq · 09-22-2010, 08:59 PM
