Hello Americans! Today’s pick of the week is tomorrow’s game between the packers and vikings. Minnesotans have informed me that these two teams are huge rivals, this is the first I’ve heard of it though.

It’s also October, which means one thing: Oktoberfest beers.

Oktoberfest beers are described as being copper-red, with a full-bodied maltiness, and a little spicy. I’ve drank quite a few this fall. here are the best three.

#3 – New Glarus Staghorn Oktoberfest

I’ve had this one from the tap at Oktoberfest in New Glarus, WI, and man is it good. Full of that malty goodness and deer flavor us Mid-westerners crave. Not as good from the bottle though.

#2 – Old Style Oktoberfest

They serve this one at the huge Oktoberfest in La Crosse, WI, which is the one time of year locals exit the thousands upon thousands of bars in La Crosse and decide to drink outside.

It comes in an un-pretentious 16 oz can that will fill up your stein. Nothing too outrageous, just a really nice beer.

RUNNER UP – Surly SurlyFest

This is the best Oktoberfest beer, but on the can it clearly explains that it isn’t technically an Oktoberfest beer because of the types of hops they use. Whatever! But thank you Surly for sticking by an arbitrary set of standards created by a council of uptight Germans.

#1 – Schell’s Oktoberfest

Man, this one is good. Crisp, malty, refreshing. Everything a good Oktoberfest beer should be. It’s like drinking a painting of a mid autumn Vermont forest.

Now keep in mind, these aren’t opinions, they’re facts. Facts 100% backed up by science and logic. If you disagree with these rankings you are objectively wrong and should fell very ashamed.

Here are your picks of the week!
