    I haven't had anything from them that I didn't like, so I'm definitely going to make sure this one is a part of the tasting

    Good God! I had this last week for the first time and it was like drinking soda water with some spices tossed in.

    That's because it's the best. I don't get all this Pumpking hype...artificial-tasting sweetness doesn't count as "good" to me.

    Not sure if you've got NY accounted for, but how about Southern Tier Pumking? It's good and spicy.

    I'll bet the pumking is like a punch in the mouth compared to the rest, and I mean that in the best possible way.

    Awesome list. If you can get your hands on a Rumpkin or Uinta Oak-Jacked, that might provide some contrast with the otherwise low-abv brews, but I know both can be hard to acquire.

    Add Schlafly to that list or you're doing yourself a disservice... no lineup is complete without that offering...
