The Three Beermigos Favorite Octoberfest Beers


In Honor Of Octoberfest
Here Are Each Of The Three Beermigos
Top 5 Favorite Octoberfest Beers

Jared's Top 5 List (in no particular order)
1. Spaten Oktoberfest - Classic Octoberfest beer...1st beer I think about.
2. Paulaner Octoberfest - Great beer with great flavor.
3. Harpoon Octoberfest - Feel like this is an underrated beer in an underrated line-Harpoon makes great beer.
4. Sam Adams Octoberfest - Lots of flavor--and lots of hops in true SA style.
5. Dogwood Octoberfest - Local Microbrew in Ga (where the 3 Beermigos are) great line of beer.

Greg's Top 5 list
1. Spaten Oktoberfest - The first octoberfest beer I ever had. Still a classic.
2. Sierra Nevada Octoberfest - Pretty hoppy (which I live) with some caramel sweetness and some spice.
3. Terrapin Pumpkin Fest - Just had this beer and it makes the list. Great pumpkin beer.
4. Harpoon Octoberfest - I echo Jared's comments above; underrated brewery.
5. Paulaner Octoberfest - Solid beer with malts up front and a slight bitter finish.

JT's Top 5 List-
OK, so I am expanding the Oktoberfest concept to include the fall/autumn seasonal offerings, so forgive me for not highlighting pure Oktoberfest brews, but damnit I LOVE PUMPKINS.

1) Terrapin Pumpkinfest - As above, I love pumpkins (pie, donuts, bread, etc...) at 7.0% you can justify drinking this without being a pansy.
2) Avery The Kaiser - 9.3% kick you in the head great Marzen/Oktoberfest beer.
3) Sam Adams Octoberfest - A great Octoberfest usually available at your grocery store.
4) Dogfishhead Punkin Ale - Similar to the Terrapin, but with a stronger flavor of cinnamon and nutmeg.
5) Blue Moon Harvest Moon Pumpkin Ale - A rare reference to Coor's brewing something I like...
