More or less pumpkin beer for you this year?

My wife is pretty well hooked on them now, so probably more...yet I'M the one who gets called out on the beer budget!

 

I will continue to purchase the same amount. Which will not be much as I don't care for most of them.

 

Same here.

 

Definitely less of it. More beer that I enjoy/haven't tried.

 

I certainly agree with you on Schlafly - maybe someday!

 

I'm hoping to find some this year. I hunted all over for it last year and got lucky at ONE store in the suburbs.

 

I'll keep an eye out for ya...

 

I will buy more.

I probably shied away from it in the past without realizing it, b/c its mere mention rouses ire in so many. Then I smartened up.

Weyerbacher's pumpkin was what set me straight last year. And I wasn't the biggest fan of ST's Pumpking and Warlock, but looking forward to trying those again.

I have some Schlafly in the fridge, and planning on buying many others to make figure out which are worth my time and which are a waste.

 

When the mood strikes, I love pairing them with a nice fall evening. Will likely buy the same amount and perhaps have people over to do a tasting at some point (always nice to try several alongside each other and sharing makes that much easier...and fun!).

 

i'm not a pumpkin beer fan..but Schlafly pumpkin is excellent..maybe i'll try Pumking or Weyerbacher

 

More. Last year I got 0. This year I plan to get 1 Warlock to try it and that's it.

 

I'll get a sixer of Schlafly and a couple bombers of Great'er Pumpkin. About the same as last year...

 

Thanks!

 

Broke up with the girl I was dating the last few falls.... Farrrrrr less.

I've never been a fan of them myself.

 

Last year I think I probably had a Warlock and MAYBE a Schlafly. So either the same or less...

There seems to be a growing sentiment on here that IPA's are all the same damn thing, and well, pumpkin beers... yeah.

 

Each year that goes by has me consuming less of these. Will probably grab a Pumpking/Warlock for Halloween night just for the hell of it.

 

just picked up a few southern tier pumking at the local last night
plan to crack one tonight post a mtn bike ride
should go well with the chilly mountain air up here at 9000 feet in colorado.....

 

While we're talking, does the flavor on these fade pretty quickly or is that not really an issue?

 

I'd drink them within 6 months to a year. Its a seasonal beer.

 

I saw some at a liquor store left over from last year and I would not touch them - however my boss usually saves a sixer or two from the last season and has reported no issues.
