View Quote Total's got some neat ones for sure. I was similarly stunned when I saw they had Radeburger Pils. Absolutely delicious, even if you're not sitting by the Elbe in Dresden. Veltins Pilsner is also well worth your time. Hard to beat Ayinger come October though. I am going to try and find that different one from Schneider-Weisse. Love Aventinus, and the Eisbock they make from it. |

I still have some Hacker Pschorr and Spaten I need to consume from over the past year. And obviously buy replacements for this next year.

View Quote Thanks for the list. I've never seen lowenbrau either. Never tried Augustiner either. I always thought Ayinger was one of the six. |

On beer advocate, lowenbrau oktoberfest, is listed as a festbier with abv 6.1.
Which marzens are usually higher abv than festbiers , kinda odd. |

I made my first Oktoberfest beer run. Only managed to get 5 out of the big six. No Lowenbrau to be found. Locally a couple of U.S. beers can be had easily so I don’t put them on my shopping list. I have a few more places to try next week.
Edit - After a little searching, it seems that Lowenbrau is no longer sold in America. |

Last week we were blessed to nab a case of HB, which we love. IMHO it's hard to imagine one being better - maybe different, but not better, at least to our palettes. To me it starts really light and finishes with a sweetish bread body.
Today we were blessed to grab cases of Weihenstephaner OktoberFestbier and Hacker Pschorr Oktoberfest, so stoked about revisiting those. They also had Spaten Oktoberfest Ur Marzen in stock but I held off on it because the label clearly stated "Malt Liquor", and I could not find a statement about it DE purity law on it. Not saying it's bad or not good, legit beer, but that caused me to have pause on it for now. Don't fight me bro! I'm personally also a fan of Warsteiner Oktoberfest, but they only had it in cans, and I just can't. But I'm hoping they get bottles of that soon too. It's not rated very high, but I really enjoy it cause IMHO it drinks more like a Hefe Weizen that has a little Marzen vibe added at the end. |

Stopped by the local Costco and they didn't have the usual cases of Paulaner Oktoberfest, but they had their variety packs. They also had cases of Hacker Pschorr. Haven't had the HP before, hopefully it's good as I now have a case of it along with the Paulaner.
