The battle of Oktoberfests

October 10th, 2008

Oktoberfest beers are some my favorites…the crisp malt body, chewiness, smoothness, etc… That being said, here is quick summary of some of the beers you might find traveling around Philly and burbs’ bars and restaurants:

A+, Brooklyn’s Oktoberfest - Just great beer, nice balance of hops and malt body, great mouthfeel…Brooklyn does it again.
A+, Victory FestBeer - Tied with Brooklyn as my favorite Oktoberfests, if you have not tried it - get over to Downingtown ASAP!
A, Harpoon Oktoberfest - Really like this one, a touch lighter than the previous two….highly drinkable.
A-, Samuel Adams - A steady eddie; you can’t miss with a Sam.
B, Leinenkugel’s (SAB MILLER) Oktoberfest - Light and drinkable, some malt, not too heavy, nice for lunch.
B, Spatan - What can be said… one of the originals, tasty and malty.
F, Beck’s Oktoberfest - Watery, icky flavor, not good at all.
