Oktoberfest is in full swing over in Munich, Germany and a key part of any Oktoberfest celebration is, of course, the beer.  Oktoberfest beers are actually M¤rzens, a type of beer traditionally brewed in March and drunk over the summer and during the harvest celebrations of the fall.

I love these beers, though some people find them boring.  I’ve honestly never had one I’d call amazing, but I’ve also never had a truly bad one. It’s more of a workhorse style of beer: kind of simple, sweet malt flavors with a touch of hops to balance, easy to drink (from enormous steins) and refreshing.

Here’s a six-pack of my favorites:

#1  Hofbr¤u Oktoberfestbier – One of the few breweries to supply the real Oktoberfest. Surprisingly light in color,   …..but full of flavor, crisp and clean
#2  Sprecher Oktoberfest
– More of a toasted flavor, creamy and rich with spice notes
#3  Harpoon Octoberfest
– A little hoppier than the others with fruit notes
#4  Flying Dog Dogtoberfest
– Lots of malt, with a rich caramel flavor
#5  Bell’s Octoberfest
– Full, slightly sweet flavor of grain and malt
#6  Weihenstephaner Festbier
– Light and crisp, probably the least malt flavor of the group but very easy to drink

What are you drinking this season?
