Best pumpkin beers.

Schlafly Pumpkin
Southern Tier Warlock
Smutty Pumpkin

 

Schlafly, try it in a float with a scoop of vanilla ice cream

 

Imperial Pumpkin Ale by Weyerbacher is a local favorite! Troegs Master of Pumpkin is a good seasonal as well.

 

See avatar.

 

These two by a big margin for me.
If I want something different Heavy Seas has a barrel aged one that I will probably get once a year.

 

Schlafly and Night Owl by Elysian are about the only 2 that stand out as great to me in my Pumpkin searches. There are probably still a few I haven't tried.

 

Lakefront made an Imperial Pumpkin last year and it was aged in brandy barrels. It was fantastic! Wish it wasn;t a one time shot.

 

That's too bad about your Night Owl. I wouldn't give up on it yet though.
I, too, need to try Schlafly's take on a pumpkin beer, but I have never seen any of their offerings here in the burg, I don't believe they distribute to PA.

Can't wait to try Punkuccino. I missed out last year.

 

Good Gourd is my top. If the brewery has it on Nitro, it is even better.

Runner up for me is Imperial Pumpkin Smash from Crown Valley brewing. Kept a single bottle in the cellar to try side by side with this year's batch.

 

SAINT ARNOLDS PUMPKINATOR.

 

Honestly I'm not into pumpkin beers that much but each year I manage to buy a pack of Lakefront's brandy barreled pumpkin ale. I must say it's quite tasty! I've seen Weyerbacher's Imperial Pumpkin mentioned a few times in various threads so I may have to watch out for that one as well.

 

Probably hasn't been mentioned because of Almanac's limited distro. I've got two bottles of it sitting in my cellar that I'm looking forward to; I'll probably crack one in a month or so, once the weather starts to turn.

 

Have seen the Punkuccino, Great Pumpkin and Dark O' The Moon Stout (all bombers) in NJ as of late last week. Haven't seen Night Owl yet though.

 

Eddyline Brewery Pumpkin Patch Ale! Taste like Pumpkin Pie in a can...delish!

 

Thanks! I probably shouldn't be trading right now...as I'm borderline broke at the moment, but I really want to try that Punkuccino.

 

The best pumpkin beer is the one some else is buying so I can drain pour it

 

Stevens point whole hog. Though I thought last year's had more cinnamon than the year prior and was not as good.

 

Cigar City's Seasonal Creep. Who doesn't like anything chocolate covered.

 

As a few have mentioned:

Whole Hog was fantastic and I'll be buying a few four packs again this year.
La Parcela
Lakefront Brandy Barrel Aged Imperial Pumpkin was delicious last year.
Schlafly
Heirloom Pumpkin.

I will admit I had my first pumpkin beer this past Sunday while watching football Love this time of year!
