      <content>otter creek autmn brew/octoberfest.. something like that. It has falling leaves on the label. Uses Hallertau and Tetnang hops as is traditional bavarian brew. Very authentic and delicious.</content>

      <content>havent been a fan of these beers until this year oddly enough Ive really enjoyed them.  

Sam Adams Oktoberfest is very untraditional but very good and Sierra Nevada is top notch.   The most traditional that hits the right flavor for the season is Victory's Festbier.

Not a huge fan of the pumpking seasonals, too much spice going on there.</content>

      <content>For a pumpkin beer I would highly recommend Dogfish Head Punkin' Ale (not too spicy, and a fabulously balanced beer.)

Locally, I would recommend Flying Fish October Fish.

      <content>I had Hacker-Pschorr M&#252;nchner Dunkel at an Oktoberfest last weekend, but I don't know where to find it bottled or on tap.  One to look for, though.  Good stuff.</content>
