    I highly recommend Ithaca Beer's Country pumpkin, my favorite so far this year.

    These are my two favorites as well.

    I'd also recommend Bruery's Autumn Maple. Its not a pumpkin ale, but has a similar flavor profile IMO. I've also really enjoyed Night Owl as well.

    Smashed Pumpkin. It's the only one that has flavor rather than just smell. Intense and delicious. Many others I have tried are let-downs.

    You, of course, have to like the style. Here are my faves, but i love to try 'em all:

    Southern Tier Pumking is great, but sweet. It's now in 4 or 6 pack, which is awesome, kudo's ST.

    Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin is surprisingly great.

    I'm a big Pumking fan... then, I do like Rogue's pumpkin patch as well. It's one of the less spicy pumpkin beers. Would love to try schlafly but they don't carry it around here.

    I have to admit. I am not a big pumpkin fan, but I did enjoy the Bruery Ignis Fatuus

    Schlafly and Williamsburg aleworks are both amazing. I really liked Alaskan pumpkin porter for something different

    Elysian has a nice line up including Night Owl, Dark O The Moon, The Great Pumpkin, and Punkuccino. I thought the first two were pretty good, the third good, and Punkuccino great, though this one is more coffee forward than pumpkin.
