Octoberfest, what are you drinking?

[Expat]

Yuengling traditional lager. Don't like fruity beer and that seems what all October fest beers are. Fruit does not belong in a beer. Just my opinion of course

Amen.

Can we merge this with that alcohol free thread?

In Order of Likes:

Schwartzbier, Smoked Hellas Lager, Oktoberfest, Hellas Lager, American Porter.

My general preferences are porters and stouts so liking Lagers aheed of the Porter says something.

I would order again the first 2.

Really surprised but I like the Shiner Octoberfest. Sun King is so-so. Ayinger is good

I’m a big fan of Shiner in general. I haven’t tried their octoberfest yet. I do really like the Yuengling Octoberfest

Crave K-cup, and a Fox karambit. You carry a Karambit? Can you do all the tricky stuff with it? I assume you like it. I wanted to get one several years ago. That or a butterfly.

You should give them another try. No fruit is in German beer. It's the law!

The provisional Beer Law of 1993 was passed to ease the strict rules of the German Beer Purity Law. The law is more of a modification of the German Beer Purity Law. The new regulations accommodated water, hops, malted barley, yeast, hop extract, and malted grains. The laws also accommodated the used of pure sugar for coloring and flavoring of the beer. A fining agent like PVPP was also allowed as an ingredient for the brewing of beers in the country. A 2015 court ruling allowed the use of other ingredients and flavoring as long as the product is not labeled as "beer."

I picked up this gift set for a buddy today. Their Festbier is my top Oktoberfest beer, however I didn’t pick any up yet. $15/6er is rough on the budget even for something special - cause I (try to) drink this stuff like they do over there lol

3 Floyd's Oktoberfest bier is good. Fest bier in Deutschland isn't anything special.. They figure you aren't really gonna taste it after the first one or two anyway.
At least they don't put grapefruit in it.

I have always enjoyed Upland's Octoberfest.

Best I've had, shockingly, was Lowenbrau Octoberfest. I had always thought of Lowenbrau as bottom tier beer. Had it at Epcot in the German pavilion years ago. They were flying in multiple kegs daily from Germany for the month of October and it was magical. Or maybe it was just the 1 liter mugs they were serving it in that made it magical?
