    Love Pumpkin season. Toss up between ST Pumking and DFH Punkin. Must have a thing for misspelled pumpkins.

    Only in Colorado (maybe NC now that they have a brewery there?). I work as a beer steward for a local beer and wine shop in Washington and we regularly have Oskar Blues on tap, and it is exceptionally rare to get Ten Fidy after January. Luckily, my distributor had some in their Seattle based warehouse a few weeks ago and I snaked 5 cases for my customers (and maybe for me too :wink:).

    It's so good. I even tried cloning it as a homebrew.

    I didn't realize TenFidy left us. I can always get some.
    Was Nugget Nectar, then Founders Imperial Stout, and now it is Victory Hop Ranch. I'ma say the same thing I did a year ago "winter is comming."

    Here in Colorado, Ten Fidy is tough to find in the summer months. I think they stop brewing it in March/April and you usually can't find it from June-October. Not sure if I've ever seen it back this early, it usually closer to October.

    Yeah, like others have posted, SN Celebration. A very close second would be Founders Breakfast Stout.
