It’s time for Oktoberfest beers and man am I excited. I like to think I know a thing or two about beer, I’ve certainly had my share so I’ve set out to find my favorite Oktoberfest. Prosit!
So far I’ve have tried the following.
- Samuel Adams - Octoberfest
- Paulaner - Oktoberfest Marzen Amber
- Flying Dog - Dogtoberfest
- Bell’s - Octoberfest
- Surly - Surlyfest
- Summit - Oktoberfest
- Leinenkugels - Octoberfest
- Granite City - Oktoberfest
- Ayinger - Oktoberfest Märzen
- Spaten - Oktoberfest
My favorite has been Surlyfest, runners up are Spaten, Bell’s and Sam Adams. I’m not a huge fan of Summit’s and Leine’s octoberfests.
Surlyfest according to Surly
This beer is a single hop lager, hopped exclusively with Summit hops. Being a Surly beer, we decided to dry-hop it. Is that a traditional German way to brew it? Nein, but we ain’t in Germany. We aged this beer over 11 weeks to let the flavors mellow into an exceptional taste. We used German malts and Crystal Rye for a unique flavor. Only one batch of this beer was brewed, so go and drink it while you can!
