My Oktoberfests

I like Marzens.
And, it's that time of year. So I need this list. It includes beers I've tried and others I plan to - and, of course, sold by BEK; so, here it is:

product: 

Harpoon Octoberfest

Product - Harpoon Oktoberfest
Brewed By: 
Harpoon
Self-Defined Style: 
Oktoberfest Märzen
Strength (ABV): 
5.5% ABV

The character and complexity of Harpoon Octoberfest comes from the malt and hops. When looking at a freshly poured Harpoon Octoberfest, you will notice the garnet-red color with a firm, creamy head. The beer's color is from a blend of Munich, chocolate, and pale malt. The thick head results in part from wheat malt added to the grist. The hop aroma of this beer is not overpowering but it is present. Tettnang hops add a subtle spice nose that blends with the malt character. This beer is full-bodied, smooth, and malty.

Best With: 
Pork and sausages.

New Belgium Hoptober

Product - New Belgium Hoptober Golden Ale
Brewed By: 
New Belgium
Self-Defined Style: 
Golden Ale
Strength (ABV): 
6.0% ABV
Bitterness (IBU): 
40 IBU

Five hops and four malts make Hoptober Golden Ale a veritable cornucopia of the earth. Pale and wheat malt are mashed with rye and oats to create a medium-bodied ale with a creamy mouthfeel.

Centennial, Cascade, Sterling, Willamette, and Glacier hops form a bonfire of citrus notes, fruity cheers and a bold finale.

Best With: 
Ed Dopman, our San Francisco Beer Ranger and champion of the 2009 Ultimate Beer Ranger Challenge, recommends: Whenever I tuck into a pint of Hoptober, I like to pair it with: Italian fennel salami and Taleggio cheese on sourdough bread. Cured halibut and sardines with Ligurian olive oil and lemon juice. The five hops used in Hoptober provide just enough bitterness to cut the buttery, meaty flavors of Italian fennel salami, Taleggio cheese and sourdough bread. Their delicate floral aromas dance nicely with cured halibut and sardines while the slightly salty Ligurian olive oil is balanced by a squeeze of citrusy lemon juice. The four malts used in brewing this golden ale give just the right body to stand up to the autumn wind, while remaining delicate enough to quench one's thirst in the ocean air after a bike ride to the beach... Matt Hinman, Executive chef of The Happy Gnome in St. Paul, Minnesota, recommends: Veal Chop and Duck Sausage, caramelized onion bulgur wheat, garlic braised spinach, black garlic butter, bordelaise sauce, cherry gastrique. The veal and the duck have such delicate flavors that the sweetness of the Hoptoberfest complements and makes the meat taste even more succulent. A bulgur wheat with caramelized onions works as a base to bring out the toasted malt in the beer. Spinach and the bordelaise sauce give a nice earthy richness that coats the mouth and begs for another swig of Hoptober. The black garlic butter and cherry gastrique act as yin and yang to the subdued hop character, teasing the tongue with acidity that complements the hops, while the sweet fig-like garlic butter adds some weight and richness contrasting the hops and completing the whole flavor profile of the dish.
