    With the pumpkin beers starting to hit the shelves at my local stores I was curious to see what people are looking forward to having again or trying? What are your top pumpkin beers on your radar?

    I'm over most of them, but there are a few standouts. IMO, the best 3 are Schlafly, Pumking (or Warlock), and Oak Jacked.
    If you're looking for a milder one, the one from Uinta fits the bill.

    Schlafly. If you don't get it, I'm sorry, but it's fantastic. Will be drinking copious amounts starting very soon.

    Schlafly. Keep trying the almighty Pumking but it's not for me.

    Good Gourd is my favorite pumpkin beer. Schlafly is really good also.

    I'm not a fan of pumpkin beers but Schlafly Pumpkin Ale is top notch.

    Definitely Schlafly for me. Heavy Seas Greater Pumpkin is pretty awesome too. I used to love Pumking up until a couple years ago.

    Schlafly is also my favorite but a close 2nd is Whole Hog Pumpkin Ale by Stevens Point.

    I know there's haters but Pumking and recently tried Roadsmarys Baby from Two Roads aged in rum barrels. Really a nice beer IMO. Would love to try the Schafly if I could get my hands on it...

    Elysian Night Owl and Punkuccino are probably my two favorites. I like them both more than Pumking. I do really want to try Schafly.

    Schlafly, Fatheads spooky tooth, punkuccino, whole hog are probably my favorites. Looking forward to trying some new ones. Also good gourd may be the most overrated beer ever imo. its probably not in my top 25 pumpkins.
