Pumpkin beer recommendations?

for anyone in NJ, fairway has in the ad this week, dogfish head punkin 4packs for $24.99

 

Don't worry, I was told that due to a Buffalo Bills (pumpkin) recall in my area, New Belgium Pumpkick has sold more than expected....and their new winter seasonal Accumulation (a white IPA) arrived in our warehouse today.

 

I thought I wasn't ready for cold weather beers yet too, since its still 80 degrees out here. Then we got Velvet Merlin at my bar, and now I'm excited for stout season, especially since I have a rye oatmeal robust porter I brewed waiting until the holidays. Also looking forward to drinking some of the big beers I've been holding onto all year!

 

You live for fall in NC--73 today! crisp cool evening. Wet hops and fall beers are now the ticket. Add College Game Day and what more can you want?

 

$24.99? What, they like walk it over from Delaware or somethin? Alewerks Pumpkin Ale is $11.00/6 pk 15 miles down the road in Va.

 

Thanks for all the info guys. Pumpkinator sounds like what I'm looking for. And a lot of the other stuff that was mentioned sounds really tasty as well.

 

Try the Warlock. I thought it blended the imperial stout and Pumking pretty well.

 

You and I both! Thanks for asking the question as I am not a pumpkin beer drinker. Pumpkinator sounds awesome!

 

It's about 8 C (48 F) here near Vancouver today. It's pissing rain. If you like Pumpkin, then, it's time. I'm trying this tonight. A Pumpkin ale barrel aged in Vanilla Bourbon barrels:

 

Harpoon Imperial Pumpkin Stout is alright.. it's not thick like a milkshake though.. the price is right at $5.99/bomber too..

 

I'd love some of whatever drug they're on. It's gotta be some awesome stuff to come up with pricing like that.

 

Saint Arnold makes a delicious one. Pumpkinator.

St. Arnold Pumpkinator. Very, very good. Had a 2011 vintage last night.

 

1/2 FBS and 1/2 Pumking, a real treat.

 

That one sounds incredible, though do I tend to go with something more common when it comes to blending.

 

Can I get some recommendations for beers that use real pumpkins and not the processed stuff?

 

Cambridge Brewing's Great Pumpkin Ale. I don't know if they distribute to Antarctica, though.

 

why? pumpkin doesnt have much taste. a beer brewed with pumpkin and no spices wouldent taste like a pumpkin beer

 

If there are any, they probably aren't even out yet. Even figuring they harvested the pumpkins as recently as late August (not likely), between fermentation and bottling/canning they wouldn't be out in most stores for another month or so. More likely they wouldn't reach shelves until November.

 

Never said it couldn't have spices, but I want one that uses fresh pumpkins from this year.
