American Made Marzens

Clipper City did a great on called Balti-maers-hon.......not sure if it made the move to Heavy Seas when they switched names...

 

I'm with you on Great Lakes and Left Hand.

I'll add Hooker and Thirsty Dog.

 

Wiesn Bier from Folksbier in NYC.

 

Mecktoberfest imo is the best beer that Old Meck makes.

 

This and prost along with dry dock

 

The one I had from skull mechanics was tasty. Does it get distro?

 

Might have to seek out Victory Festbier again based on the responses. Haven’t had that in about 5 years, but remember not being impressed.

I will probably seek out Yuengling Oktoberfest because it will be like $6-7 per 6er.

 

Skull Mechanics distributes some of their beer, but usually only on draft, that I’m aware of. I’ll have to look out for that one, as I haven’t had it yet.

 

Sly Fox, Fat Heads, Great Lakes are my top three.

 

Great Lakes Oktoberfest is a long time fave but Saucy Brew Works makes a very nice Festbier. I liked Avery's The Kaiser but didn't they stop making it (I bought an old bottle a year or two ago: not good!).

 

? Is that taproom only or just limited distro? I know I had seen something about it but I didn't realize it was a year round märzen. Their Oktoberfest is a Scottish Ale.

I like Rahr and Real Ale and I liked Shiner's version a few years ago. Live Oak Oaktoberfest is always good.

Hopefully Altstadt's Oktoberfest is distributed up here this year.

 

I'm going off the reservation here (big surprise) with Oktobot 3000, a rye barrel-aged imperial Märzen from Lion Bridge Brewing, Cedar Rapids, IA. Oh, yeah!

 

I really hate to be repetitive, but, Chuckanut makes nothing less awesome examples of most Lagers.

So, I vote Cnut Marzen.

 

Fieldwork Brewing - Marble Falls
Levante Brewing - Copper Hearth
Sam Adams - OctoberFest

 

it’s one of their canned beers available in grocery stores, but I don’t know if Saint Arnold distributes it in the DFW area. It’s very good, really on point for the style.

 

Amen!

Last year I purchased a case (two 12-packs; two separate purchases). I am contemplating making the 2020 Oktoberfest season as being a solely Sly Fox Oktoberfest season (as regards packaged beer). Maybe just drink a few draft pints of other brands.

Cheers to Sly Fox!

 

Zero Gravity’s was really good last year, but I think they only distribute limited amounts.

 

Never saw it around down in NJ. Maybe with them expanding more it’ll come down here this year. I’d definitely give that one a try.

 

I can't believe no one has mentioned Jack's Abby's Copper Legend. An excellent märzen/Oktoberfest

 

Great Lakes Oktoberfest is my overall favoritr. I also enjoy:

- Rahr & Sons Oktoberfest
- Real Ale Oktoberfest
- Olde Mecklenburg Mecktoberfest
