    I should be able to get out around noon tomorrow on release day.

    Finding the regular version isn't going to be a problem in the coming weeks. I'd like to find the barrel version tomorrow though if it is possible. I have no idea what the numbers on it are going to be. How limited and how hard to get? I don't know.

    Anybody know the best places to look tomorrow afternoon? I'm guessing Smith street Specs will be out of the barrel version by then.

    Seems the best chance to try the bb is going to be hitting up special events at bars and restaurants. Two places got it on the south side but I was too late to both. Lots of regular Pumpkinator out there. It won't be a problem to find.

    That seems to be the allocation for all the big market HEBs on the south side. HEB Pearland Plus and Pearland Parkway HEB both got the same.

    It was one bottle liimit on the Bourbon Pumpkinator.

    Personally: Bishops Barrel 9 (Bourbon) > NON-BA Pumpkinator > Bishops Barrel 6 (Rum) > 2017 BA Pumpkinator.

    A little disappointed with the 2017 BA Pumpkinator, I was expecting a something more robust especially with such a solid base beer (I assume it was the 2016 Pumpkinator).

    2017 pumpkinator is one of the best batches for as far back as I can remember. The spices/stout are in perfect harmony to my taste (and this comes off opening every regular/BA pumkinator less than a month ago). I haven't tried the BA pumpkinator 2017.
    Any info on Saint Arnold banana pudding beer.
