Two more for the list

As I make my march through the Marzens, it is becoming a bit more difficult to find something to sample. I hope to find the Oktoberfest style at the local bars but too many of them have the same thing which is quite strange. I have a great selection of beers available to me in my neighborhood. Unless I spend a hundred bucks at the liquor store buying every single Marzen in sight then my list won't expand too much. Though I think it is a good sample.

I stumbled across the Silver Creek Oktobefest at a bar last Saturday. They are a little brewery in a Milwaukee suburb, if I am not mistaken. The beer itself looked better than it tasted. It was thin, lacking body. The flavor could have been more pronounced as well. Simply put, I rather have another beer.

The other one was recommended to me from a guy at work. He thought the Beck's Oktoberfest was really good. Having seen this at the store on my last trip- actually having just about bought some- I grabbed a sixer when I was buying beer to pay off a bet. At first glance it looked good. Nice color in the glass. The taste was good, full body and pleasant. But after you swallowed it, it was harsh. Upon having a new bottle, realized it was rather skunky. Damn those green bottles! Hopefully I can come across this on tap before the season is over.

Best of 2011 is still the New Glarus Staghorn.

God damn that is good! Get me another!
