Pumpkin beer recommendations?

My favorite was at a tasting where Pumking and SA Pumpkinator were mixed half and half.

 

Schlafly Pumpkin is my favorite and with a splash of bourbon, it is sublime.

 

Woah, come at me bro! I will be trying this soon!

 

It was the Bomb!!!

 

Uinta Oaked Imperial Pumpkin and Avery Rumpkin!

 

Sams Adams Fat Jack was a drain-pour for me last year.

 

1. Heavy Seas Greater Pumpkin
2. Schlafly Pumpkin
3. Elysian Great Pumpkin
4. DFH Punkin
5. Elysian Dark o'the Moon
6. River Horse Hipp-o-Lantern (couldn't find this last year and was really disappointed)
7 & 8 tie between Saranac Pumpkin and Post Road Pumpkin

Yeah...I really like pumpkin ales. Fall is probably my favorite season, and Halloween my favorite Holiday. These beers have become a big part of that for me.

 

Without question, hands down the very best pumpkin beer and perhaps the best new beer I had all of last year, as last year was the first time I tried it:

 

Couldn't agree more, those are all great. Cisco Rumple Drumpkin is a good varietal. I've laid off of pumking since I found out it was artificially flavored. Fishermans is easily their best offering. I would add punkin head to the list as well.

Love the avatar btw.

 

out of what I've had so far...
#1 Good Gourd
... huge gap here
#2 Pumking
...huge gap here
#3 Weyerbacher Imperial
#4 Shipyard Pugsly's <-- less pumpkin and more pumpkin seed... but surprisingly not bad.
... huge gap here
#5 everything else, not worth naming.

nevery had schafly though, but i'd expect it to be somewhere near Pumking.

 

Pumking.

Everyone else is a DISTANT second.

 

Michigan Brewing Company Screamin Pumpkin

 

Cape Ann - Imperial Pumpkin Stout

 

Schlafly Pumpkin Ale gets my vote.

 

Hand down Southern Tier Pumking; excited to try Warlock this fall

 

I love beer...and I love pumpkin...but I detest pumpkin beer.

I do, however, have a bottle of Allagash Ghoulschip, which I guess is brewed with pumpkin, as well as pumpkin seeds, and molasses, which I intend to open and share with friends at some point this fall.

 

Schlafly is my favorite. Nice dark orange/copper color, full pumpkin flavor, and has all those great fall spices. Can't beat ~$30ish a case either. ST Pumking is a close second, and I'd say Weyerbacher rounds out 3rd but I haven't had this years batch.

Totally forgot about Heavy Seas Greater Pumpkin, shame on me. I may be biased, but I think Heavy Seas has one of the best barrel aging programs in the US. They're one of the few breweries whose beers I can actually pick out the flavors of the barrel it was aged in.

 

I think it should be illegal to release pumpkin beer before september

 

I just finally had Good Gourd for the first time, and it's definitely that. No other pumpkin beer really competes. Pumking is a distant second, and Punkin is a distant third.

Schlafly isn't available here, but I'd like to try that, and I'll try the Weyerbacher when I get the chance.
