I love, love, LOVE this time of year! Oktoberfest season is officially underway, and the beers are most definitely hitting shelves and taplines already. If you’re like me, you want to try them all. You have a burning desire deep down to discover which one is your favorite each year. It’s hard to keep track of, though. It’s darn near impossible to keep track of who has Oktoberfest beers on tap, in a can… where they all can be found.
That’s why I’m here, folks. This list will update as more details become available – but this is the most complete list of all the Cincinnati Oktoberfest beers that you’ll find in 2021.
Go forth. Drink. Prost!

Hey Gnarly, thanks for the list! What’s with Bad Tom Smith 13 PREACHERS?
Added! I wasn’t sure if they were going to do it this year, and was waiting to see if they tapped it. Which as you know… they did!!!
Well, you probably had it yesterday as well. Westside Smoked Oktoberfest
I did have it! It was fantastic! Gotta get it added today, it was a pleasant surprise for me!
I just saw Sam Adams has a barrel aged Oktoberfest, need to go to the taproom before it’s gone!
Passing through Cincinnati Wed PM-Thurs AM, any bottle shop where I could find cans of any of these?
Depending on what part of town you’ll be passing through, my favorites are Jungle Jims, BCs Bottlelodge, Higher Gravity or Cappy’s. Jungles has the biggest selection, while the others are a little more curated.
