Hopefully you bought them.

Hell, I think I'm heading to the liquor store to look for some...

A 5L mini-keg would go flat before I could finish it. I suppose if I were to fill a few grolsh-style cap bottles first thing when I tapped it, I might be able to pull it off.

No idea. Paulaner is the only one I've found.

Edit: I just found this one:

HofbrauHaus from the descriptions is a "yellow" beer, so maybe that's it.

Next year, I would suspect that a certain brewery in the Denver area will make a weisn bier. I've already planted the bug in my friends ear about doing it... His marzen is a big seller in the Denver metro area though, so it may be a little tough to bring competition to that beer.

My local Costco has the HofbrauHaus Oktoberfest in mini-kegs for like $17. Was thinking about picking one up to try, but see my previous post, above, about why I haven't.

Thinking more about it, I seem to recall trying it last year in 500ml bottles. It lived up to the description, didn't blow me away, but was certainly a very drinkable beer.

Sam Adams seasonal's have been very good this year I've never done a Sam Adams fan but I'm telling you they're good and this Oktoberfest is no exception

Easily among the best.

Ayinger....one my favorites

Hofbrau.....not really a typical OF, but very very good.

I've had countless domestics.

Like the Bavarian beers best. You can taste the subtle differences in malt quality and brewing expertise.

So I just finished 2 of the Sam Adams Octoberfest.....paired with a 2 year old Padilla Series 68 Toro (nice cigar btw)

The beer is good..........but it's not in the same class as the Hacker-Pschorr imo.....

I don't have all the reference points that many here have, cause I only drink the Hacker this time of year (when I want a "fest" beer.......)

but hey.........at 90 cents a bottle?......the Sam Adams is good and I'm glad I got the case

Paulaner Oktoberfest Wiesn....'nuff said.

Still got the wehphistoloerhthysdfkl or whatever it is, and the Ayinger to try. 🍺

I'd be drunk by now if these Germans would put about .8 more ounces in the bottle...:-"
