    They first serve it the day of the Selin's Grove fall parade - something like October 22nd or so. The keg lasts for a couple weeks I think - I went up last year about 10 days after the parade and got two pours. I don't think it will last until Thanksgiving though based on the dates of the reviews on BA.

    I have yet to find a Pumpkin Beer I like. So I really cannot recommend one, but then again without RediWhip I don't even like Pumpkin Pie. I may try Shipyard since I have not to this point and it is the only one that I see mentioned that is available in my area.

    I had my first pumpkin beers of the season so far tonight - Elysian The Great Pumpkin and Elysian Punkuccino. Both were quite good for what they are. Next up is Elysian Dark O' The Moon.

    I will drink my Pumking, I'm a Pumking fan. I'll also add some new ones to try. I think this year it will be Punkachino.

    Lakefront Pumpkin lager is quite delicious. I bought a 6 pack for $7.50 and was rewarded with a great beer!

    Pumpking and/or Warlock if I'm going to go for any I've already tried. I'd also like to try the Ballast Point pumpkin they did this year. That's probably it outside of anything I'm offered to try at various fall events

    My go-to used to be Schlafly but over the past 2 years I have enjoyed O'Fallon much more. I would also love to get Hoppin Frog again, but sadly I moved out of the distro area.

    I vote for Schlafly n ei8htball's sellout. I just picked up some Rivertowne Headless Wylie that I am anxious to try as it seems to have good ratings on here.

    Cigar City doesn't distribute cans or bottles outside of Florida. And I don't like pumpkin beers, but good gourd is phenomenal

    I've seen cans of Cigar City on Long Island. Pretty sure PA gets select packaged stuff as well.

    I've also seen a shipment of Jai Alai fly in (on a unicorn presumably) to Grape+Gourmet in VA Beach VA.... was all gone by the time I got there. Maybe a one and done thing.

    My favorite thus far is Ballast Point's Pumpkin Down. Very tasty.

    A very polarizing subject here. Some love it, some hate it....
