Just got home from work and I'm 3 Shiner Bocks into a six pack...
How do you like those? Kroger had them on sale today for $6.99/six pack. However, when we were over at Liquor Outlet last week I passed on buying a case of Spaten Oktoberfestbier and have been wishing I hadn't. So, I bought a 6-pack of Leinenkugel's Oktoberfest instead -- it's not the same but it was there and so was I, so that's what I went with. beeradvocate.com seems to rate the Shiner Bock as slightly better than the Leinenkugel's Oktoberfest, but the types are different enough that since I wanted a Märtzen, a bock probably wouldn't satisfy.

The Spaten ranks better than either, and I may buy some next week when I head back over to Louisville; I'll definitely be taking my two growlers to refill from whatever they're featuring on-tap. I'll also be looking for Van Winkle bourbon, which I recall seeing there, and my Mom wants a case or so of pumpkin ale if it's in.

You're making my mouth water. I really like the Shiner. It's pretty much all we drink here in Texas. It's a German style beer company and they've got a few different styles out now. I would like them to come out with an Oktoberfest, I know it would be excellent. I personally don't pay much attention to those rankings, I just drink what I like. I'm also not too picky in that regard. You won't be disappointed.

Long live the yard!
