Pumpkin beer recommendations?

Some of us appreciate 'sharp-edged wit'. ^^

 

Pumking
Schlafly Pumpkin Ale
DFH Punkin

I am pumpkined out this year, and I can't wait for October 1st and the release of all the Christmas beers.

 

Yeah I got my hands on some finally, Whole Foods in Wexford.

Thanks for letting me know though, appreciate it.

After trying Pumking, Schlafly, and DFH Punkin this weekend I can honestly say that Heavy Seas Great'er Pumpkin reigns supreme. I had Great'er with a year of age on it and it was so smooth and delicious, without being over-spiced like I felt some of the others were. If you can find it get a few and store at least 1.

 

Almanac Heirloom Pumpkin Barely wine. Just consumed and it was spectacular.

 

Southern Tier Pumking. List Over.

 

Well, you could try aging the other much better beers to see if they 'mellow' in the same way. That's if you want to do a fair comparison, of course.

Easy now, some of us like to post in these threads endlessly. (You are right though. ^^)

 

Hands down it's Avery Rumpkin for me. Looking forward to the next release of it.

 

Potosi Brewery

 

Anyone who has not had cigar city Good Gourd has truly never had a pumpkin beer it is hands down the best every other pumpkin beer id trying to be number 2 that is it.

 

I also really enjoy Avery's Rumpkin, but my favorite is Venetucci Pumpkin Ale by Bristol Brewing Co.

Rumpkin (without contest)
Pumking
Schlafly

But haven't had Good Gourd, T.R.E.A.T., Elysian, several others which I've heard are incredible.

 

Cambridge Brewing Co The Great Pumpkin
Cisco Pumple Drumkin
Kern River Pumpkin Ale
Cape Ann Imperial Pumpkin Stout
Brooklyn Post Road

 

For some reason i can't drink pumpkin beer. My worst tasting beer. Its weird.

 

Used to hate all pumpkin beers uh Schaflay's was pretty solid and I used to kinda like Lakefront's. Same went for at least American brewery Oktoberfest beers.

Then this year all that went to hell when I got a Good Gourd as an extra in a trade and stumbled upon Leinenkugel's Big Eddy Uber-Oktoberfest this past weekend in WI. Both blew me away.

 

Aside from Pumking, the few other pumpkins Ive had werent that good:

DFH Punkin
Unitas Jack Oak Aged (or whatever its called)
Sarnac
Devious Pumpkin

Any recomendations?

 

Top 3:
Schlafly Pumpkin
ST Pumking
Riverhorse Imperial Pumpkin

 

finally tried schlafly's and it is pretty good.
my revised rankings having had a bunch of pumkin brews lately...
1) Good Gourd
2) Schlafly
3) Pumking
4) Weyerbacher

(still haven't had punkin or fegley's)

 

Almanac Pumpkin Barleywine was awesome, would be even more awesome if the barleywine got another year of age before bottling.

As for regular pumpkin ales I'd go DFH Punkin and Weyerbacher
