Pumpkin and Oktoberfest mix

Why do you want to ruin a perfectly good Oktoberfest?

 

Id pick something real sweet like Pumking with a hoppier Oktoberfest or a more pumpkin flavor like Punkin Ale from DFH with a very malty Oktoberfest like DuClaw Mad Bishop.

 

I have tried Harpoon Oktoberfest with their UFO Pumpkin. Not bad. I am just not a big pumpkin beer fan.

 

So much for the Reinheitsgebot...

 

Maybe try those two again?

 

Doesn't the Reinheitsgebot only have to do with what a brewer can put in their beer, not so much what consumers put in it after it's bottled/kegged/etc.?

The Germans don't seem to have too much of a problem with people mixing something else into already-brewed beer, anyway (what with radlers, flavored syrups in Berliner Weisse, etc. apparently being popular over there.)

 

With all due respect, and of course what you do with your beer is entirely up to you, but this doesn't seem like a very good idea. You might be trying a little too hard and are making drinking a lot more complicated than it needs to be. But go for it if it makes you happy.

 

Then how about Stoudt's Pumpkinfest?
