Pumpkin beer recommendations?

Is it all Mosaic? I didn't think it was a single hop beer, but maybe that's new this year, too.

But yeah, that sounds delightful either way.

Edit: DURRRRRR. My bad: http://sixpoint.com/blog/recent/choose-your-autumnation-ii/ . . . for those of you too lazy to click on the link, it says no pumpkin this year to focus just on the wet hops. It's a bit ambiguous as to the overall hop recipe, but judging by this page's reference to Mosaic being the "main-hops" I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that it focuses on wet Mosaic but they aren't the only hops in the beer, when all is said and done.

In other news, that means that Autumnation does not, at least this year, qualify as a pumpkin IPA.

 

Autumnation was a damn good beer

 

I'll second (or third) North Peak Hooligan. I'm drinking one right now and it's definitely the hoppiest pumpkin beer I've had yet, and I've been on a pumpkin beer binge lately

 

I think it's already out, if not it will be very soon. I've seen a bunch of people check into it on untappd.

 

Agreed, even though it sounds like a brewery can make some cash from a pumpkin IPA

 

Had Sea Dog Pumpkin this weekend and it wasnt as bad as Shipyard Pumpkin but it was close.

 

Trinity brewing in Colorado Springs makes Emma's Coffin pumpkin saison. Its one of my favorite pumpkin beers and has a great back story to go with its name. Long story short, Emma Crawford was buried on top of the hill, there was a huge flash flood that washed her and her coffin down the mounntain and through town. Now manitou has the annual emma crawford coffin races to celebrate the occasion.
EDIT: for everyone bitching about wanting a plain old saison or IPA, Trinity makes both, and they're great too.

 

It's between Southern Tier and Weyerbacher.

 

So you're that person who goes to fan sites of things you don't like. Neat.

 

Shaler GE had like 15 cases of it at $8 each just on Friday. I think the House got more in too. It finally hit the city last week and is all over the place now.

 

Whole Hog is great. Finally had one last week. Great taste and body.

 

Heavy Seas Great'er Pumpkin is my absolute favorite.

 

I live in p.a.. a local brewery that just had a full page ad in BA print magazine has released their first attempt. The name of the brewery is Saucony Creek Brewing. The beer is a imperial pumpkin ale. It flew off the shelves and can't be found. I was lucky to get some. It took it to another level. It pushes past pumking. Will get better with age too. Brewed with butternut squash and maple syrup. Worth finding! Also keep an eye on this brewery!

 

Why are you on a pumpkin thread...and where's the 'dislike' button?

 

Two Roads Roadsmary's Baby is my new favorite

 

Also: Harpoon UFO Pumpkin is the best (still have to try Pumpking) I've had so far...IF you're actually looking for a more-pumpkin-than-spices/sugar taste. Very light, very pumpkin-y. And in cans, which means I'm guaranteed to buy it even if it's way too early.

 

For those pumpkin heads out there we have a pumpkin beer traders page on facebook. Anyone interested please feel free to join. It's still early into pumpkin season so lot's of time left for trades!

Schlafly was very tasty and had a real pumpkin flavor profile. Probably the best I've had yet. I really liked Flying Dog's "the Fear" last year. Very aggressively hopped beer mixed in, which seemed unique for the style.

Post Road was horrible IMO. I drain poured it I believe.

 

Bier Brewery in Indianapolis makes a pretty stellar pumpkin ale. Other than that, Schlafly has to be my favorite.

 

DFH Punkin. The runner up is Schlafly Pumpkin.

I absolutely hate Pumking. It's like someone dropped a shot of Whipped Cream vodka into a light pumpkin ale.
