    So far Sierra Nevada's Oktoberfest 2015 collaboration has been leading the pack volumewise for me. Sam's Club in Wilmington has cases of bottles for $25 and change, so it's good *and* affordable.

    Weihenstephaner Festbier is a completely different beast, nothing like a Marzen, but it's quite good too. I've been drinking this a good bit in place of the usual pilsner suspects.

    Mostly Ayinger Oktoberfest with a sprinkling of others of the style. I keep going back to the Ayinger though!

    If your going with ST, go with the imperial pumking.. Much tastier IMO.

    Can't believe I had to scroll so far down the thread to find this. Looking forward to having a tasty Nosferatu while watching "Nosferatu."

    My vote goes to SN and Great Lakes Oktoberfest followed closely by Left Hand's.

    I just picked up another today- Victory Moon Glow weizenbock! This one was on hiatus for so long I started to forget about it; let's hope it becomes a regular thing again.

    Harpoon and Sam Oktoberfest are two favorites. I don't find this years Sierra as good as everyone else seems to.

    For pumpkins it's DFH for me.

    Most of my favorites have already been mentioned but one that I really think is underrated that hasn't been mentioned is Souther Tier Harvest Ale.

    The Sierra Nevada collaboration with Brauhaus Riegele in Augsburg, Germany is a great beer. Last week I had a case of Spaten Oktoberfest and Sierra Neva Oktoberfest, and the Sierra Nevada is long gone. It is so balanced that I am amazed.
