    That surprises me, after a tour I had one, but it turned out I was the only one out of a group of 10 who liked, after that I just figured everyone hated that one.

    This sounds epic not usually a fan of spiced or pumpkin beers but brandy barrel vanilla pumpkin beer could be really good if its not overly spiced or too pumpkiny.

    Drinking one now and if anything, it's Brandy forward...once the alcohol calms down it's going to be a pretty damn fine Pumpkin Brew!!!

    Kind of off subject, but does anyone know what Lakefront has on tap during their brewery tours right now? Dad is coming into town and we will be in the area.

    Has anyone seen this for sale in Illinois or is this a limited distribution?

    I was there last week and nothing special. Just there main line up. Not even their Pumpkin or Oktoberfest! I was disappointed.

    I was at Woodman's West. Did not see any :slight_frown:. I was grocery shopping with my kid so its not like I can go hopping to each liquor store to see if they have any.

    I picked some up today at Woodman's in Menimonee Falls.
    Saw it at the Whole Paycheck on North Avenue earlier this week. Didn't see it at Otto's or Discount as of last weekend.

    But, holy shit, if you like the normal Pumkin lager, this is for you!
    STUNNING!

    Even though I have a strong dislike for pumpkin beer, I may have to try one of these. Maybe the brandy barrels will help mask the spiced beer. lol

    It is here at ottos and man is it flying! Just tried it mixed with a little Great Lakes Pumpkin Whiskey, and it was phenomenal!
