    Had some recent Colorado ones that were notable - Odyssey Fluffy Pumpkin and Eddyline Pumpkin Patch Ale.
    Both are unique enough to stand out from the pack of "me too" pumpkin spiced beers. They're no Schlafly, but both are still quite good.

    I'm in Buffalo, NY area and just recently starting seeing Elysian pop up around the area. All 3 Elysian's pumpkin's were very good IMO

    Nice, hoping to visit some friends in Rochester soon. Hopefully this holds out for a bit. Thanks for the info!

    Schlafly Pumpkin and Almanac's Pumpkin Barleywine. The best.

    Imperial Smash Pumpkin is incredible - from Crown. So is Lakefront's Cognac Pumpkin Lager. If anyone is interested I have multiples of Avery's Rumpkin and PumpKyn I would trade for non-distro pumpkin ales elsewhere.

    just had the offering by Schafly brewery, it was really good.....so drinkable for an 8 abv. Pumking by southern tier and dogfish punkin ale really stick out to me as well. all the others I've had just all taste the same.

    definetly beats out pumking this year.....had pumking back a few years ago and it was incredible...feel like its gone downhill though for sure.

    I generally loathe pumpkin beers, but Smuttynose makes the most tolerable one for my tastes. I was also tolerant of Coney Island's Freaktoberfest (the new one...pumpkin with espresso)

    I'm lost on most

    Reading this thread makes me wonder how Shipyard Pumpkinhead is so popular. It is terrible compared to the majority of pumpkin offerings out there

    DFH Punkin Ale was nice because it wasn't overpowering with pumpkin taste and I thought was very well rounded.

    I have ST Pumking and Warlock waiting also. How do you guys think those two are?

    First and foremost I'm not a pumpkin beer expert. I'm just giving my first impression of ST Pumking. Had it about a week ago and thought it was too spicy and a little too boozy. I honestly drank it trying to figure what all the hype was about...
