I happened upon a great deal for Paulaner Oktoberfest Bier, Paulaner Oktoberfest Märzen, and Warsteiner Oktoberfest. I had always thought Paulaner OM was a favorite, but Warsteiner was the best of the three with OM falling in the middle. Normally I drink my way through a range of O'fests, but never side by side. Since I had 12 packs of all three I did a SxS as well as one after another in various orders. Warsteiner was the best of the bunch each time.
It's not a popularity contest, it's beer!

i think warsteiner has more character than a lot of industrial scale german beers. the only issue i have with it is that sometimes it can be tinny tasting. idk if its a (plain?) lager or a german pils, sort of in the middle, but i am always up for drinking a warsteiner. also an independent brewery still afaik

Warsteiner Dunkel is one of my all-time favorites. I can't remember the last time I had their Oktoberfest, but I'll have to keep an eye out for it.
