Looks like a good start to the day.

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

Re: Octoberfest - What are you drinking?
 

That gives me a great idea for tailgating this Sunday.

Re: Octoberfest - What are you drinking?
 

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.

Re: Octoberfest - What are you drinking?
 

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

Re: Octoberfest - What are you drinking?
 

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!

Re: Octoberfest - What are you drinking?
 

This man speaks the truth!

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

Re: Octoberfest - What are you drinking?
 

Spaten Optimator

Re: Octoberfest - What are you drinking?
 

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.

Re: Octoberfest - What are you drinking?
 

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?

Re: Octoberfest - What are you drinking?
 

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.

Re: Octoberfest - What are you drinking?
 

Schneider Aventinus on draught- nothing like it. :D

Re: Octoberfest - What are you drinking?
 

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

Re: Octoberfest - What are you drinking?
 

Re: Octoberfest - What are you drinking?
 

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.

Re: Octoberfest - What are you drinking?
 

One Octoberfest beer I like is New Glarus Staghorn.

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

Re: Octoberfest - What are you drinking?
