Just heard that Sam Adams Octoberfest and Sierra Nevada Octoberfest (gets great reviews) are showing up on the shelves.
I need to try more of the Octoberfests this year - the SN is on my list.  It's almost time to bust out the Pumkings from last year from the cellar!
Here's a partial try list for you (in addition to the two you mentioned):
Brooklyn Oktoberfest
New Glarus Staghorn Oktoberfest
Flying Dog Dogtoberfest
Left Hand Oktoberfest
Victory Festbier
Half Acre Lager Town
Bruery Autumn Maple
Breckenridge Brewery Autumn Ale
Southern Tier Harvest (more of an English Bitter)
DuClaw Mad Bishop

That's not even venturing into the pumpkin offerings.
Damn, I got some drinkin to do!
  Afternoon, gents.  Was shopping earlier, saw a bunch of O-fest brews and picked up a six-pack of Yuengling Oktoberfest ... don't think I have had it before ... the Amber Lager bottles is what I keep at home (so I rarely drink it when I go out, always wanting to try other offerings).  It is ice cold and very thirst quenching on this hot humid day. It's very good ... I like a more rich flavor and mouth feel ... so I'll keep trying others ... but no regrets in buying this one.
One year, I made it a point to try as many as possible, imported as well as national and local ... Sam Adams is usually pretty good, Dominion, when it was local was awesome, as well as Rock Bottom (draft) ... the best I've had is the Avery Kaiser Wilhelm Imperial Octoberfest ... the name says it all. Too, good ... not cheap.  Now I'm thinking of trying to dig out my Quesada Oktoberfest cigars.
*** Shaun, I, also have a bottle of Pumking from last year ... waiting for the right moment.
Make sure it's under 80 degrees.
Thanks, Dave ... good idea.
Me, I just go uptown and get the real thing on draft - Hofbrauhaus Oktoberfest.  The first Hofbrauhaus outside of Munich is in Newport, Kentucky across the river from downtown Cincinnati where they brew the Hofbrauhaus beers.

Was speaking Bavarian.  Goes better with some accordion music, a liter of beir or two and a beerhall full of noisy Bavarians..
