Beer Terminology


Oktoberfest
In 1810 some bier loving German royalty decided to get married (Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Theresia of Bavaria if you really must know). It was their very successful 16 day celebration starting in late September and continuing on through October that later became the annual event known as Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany.

Octoberfest in America
Beer drinking Americans tend to celebrate Octoberfest only when prompted by marketing & advertising by big-label bottlers... and we tend to prefer the "c" spelling variation since we call the tenth month October (except for radio stations who insist on calling it Rocktober).

Now that you know the score, here are a few Okt... Oct... er, tenth month beers you can get in the United States:

Beck's Oktoberfest Becks Oktoberfest
»   Rated 6.43 by 42 drinkers.

We weren't at the first Oktoberfest in 1810 (if you were, send us an email), but Beck's Oktoberfest Bier is no doubt a poor interpretation of the party in Munich all those years ago.

Paulaner Oktoberfest Marzen Paulaner Oktoberfest Marzen
»   Rated 9.00 by 38 drinkers.

Paulaner Oktoberfest is a brilliantly clear beer with a luxuriously amber-orange color. It reminds me of the turning of leaves and of being outside on a cool October afternoon.

Pete's Oktoberfest Pete's Oktoberfest
»   Rated 6.60 by 5 drinkers.

This is really a very nice, highly drinkable beer. It's got some good malt depth for a beer of its size and heft. It's a very well-balanced beer, but tilting towards sweet.

Samuel Adams Octoberfest Samuel Adams OctoberFest
»   Rated 9.10 by 99 drinkers.

This would be a good beer to bring if you're going to an Oktoberfest party... it's easy to find, it's tasty, and you may even get some of the ladies to try it.

Spaten Oktoberfest Spaten Oktoberfest
»   Rated 8.96 by 55 drinkers.

Nice, rocky, dense head with small tight bubbles tracing their ways upwards through the beer. Beautiful golden orange amber color with absolutely perfect clarity.
