    Even better: my Binny's broke them into singles, so I just bought one of each. None have impressed me; maybe the pumpkin cappuccino beer will be the one?*


    *I doubt it.

    I pass on that Pumpkin pack every time I see it even though it looks intriguing. I guess because I never drank that companies beers before so its not a top priority for me. If some company I drank for years since I started drinking craft beer did a similar pack like that then I'd be all over it.

    It's $20 here.

    I've been buying it every year because it's really the only pumpkin beers I'll drink.

    Check that price tag - I saw the same thing with Sierra Nevada costing $26 a 12 pack. But the actual problem was that the price tag was folded so when you looked at it from in front of the cooler you saw the list price from the vendor of $26 but if you leaned into the cooler you could read the lower part of the tag which actually said $15.99. I never would have noticed it except I complained about the price being so high and the guy showed me the actual price. Kind of hard to explain - but I doubt it's good practice to show the list price as the selling price.

    Maybe spruce it up a bit by topping it with a spiral of whipped cream and a sprinkling of pumpkin pie spices!?! :wink:

    Cheers!

    I had the Night Owl and Punkuccino from the latest pack. Both were as good as I remember.

    Punkuccino is probably my favorite pumpkin beer that is still brewed.

    Elysian pumpkin pack is 16.99 here. Probably closer to 20 at Craft beer cellar. No way I'd pay 30 for it tho.

    It should be around $20 for the 12 pk - sounds like some typical screwy PA pricing going on at $30....that is too much
    It is a decent pack with some nice variety.....I liked it better before the sell out to ABIn-B; Dick Cantwell knew his way around a gourd!

    Not to chum the water but I say, Southern Tier Pumpking. It's my standard, year in/out. $14-15 a 4 pack, but ~8% and (should) cellar pretty well. I try a few others, but none seem to compare.

    I should say "Pumking". Anal? Not me.

    I haven't done a side by side yet but I think I prefer Warlock just a bit.

    This would be a fun side by side, I'll have to be on the lookout for singles.

    $16.49 from Kroger in WV.

    I remember when a bomber bottle of Punkucinno was $10-$12.
