Butternut Member Joined Jan 2006 Posts 43666 EE 0% (0) VA, USA	Posted: 8/28/2024 3:17:56 PM EDT It looks like some of the German Octoberfest beer imports are starting to hit the shelves here in the US. This is one time I'm welcoming the rushing of holiday marketing and goods ahead of schedule. There are some DE Octoberfest beers that are my probably my all time favorite brews - I just wish they offered em year round.

I love unfiltered beers though. One of the most complex, delicious beers out there, but it's only 8.2% ABV. Schneider Aventinus is a good one too. Ayinger does some pretty good ones too.

German beer has to abide by the Reinheitsgebot. It's free of added flavors that aren't derived from the brewing process with certain ingredients, unlike some Belgian beers. All of the fruit flavors have to be brought out during the wheat fermenting to achieve the cross flavors naturally.

I've had Shiner Oktoberfest, Hofbrau Oktoberfest, and Samuel Adams October Fest so far. Another store allegedly has Paulaner in stock so that's on the list for tomorrow's shopping. So far, Sam Adams tops the list for me for 2024.

Sierra Nevada's Octoberfest beer came in first and it's surprisingly really good. I'd say the best domestic Oktoberfest I've had. Whats a damn shame is last year the mini kegs of Hofbrau Octoberfest were $19.99. This year? $30.99
