    So I've been told. Might give it a go anyway. Are there any other beers similar to DFH Punkin?

    Give Schlafly Pumpkin Ale a try. It has a really nice pumpkin pie flavor without being overpowering.

    Had a ST Pumking tonight and while it was good it just did not blow me away like last year... Last year it was fall when I had my first taste though. Besides that I am really lookin forward to..

    NG Staghorn - Started hittin the shevles recently, just have to much beer till I grab a 6 or 2.

    Tyranena Painted Ladies Pumpkin Spice - ST pumking is great and all but it aint got nothin on this and I can get a 6 of this for a dollar more then one Bomber of Pumking....

    Any good Marzen I enjoy, but I do not look forward to the as they are avaliable for atleast 5 months.... but I will grab my share that is for sure!

    my normal answer would be Great Lakes Oktoberfest, and still kind of is, but Thirsty Dog Barktoberfest is just plain better. lighter and more drinkable. When Nosferatu hits shelves, count my drunk ass in for that.

    Add backwoods bastard, Even Horizon, Thirsty Dog Pumpkin Ale, and Founders Harvest Ale (havent had it yet)

    Wet hop/Fresh hop Ales for sure! Founders Harvest, Breakfast Stout, and Backwoods Bastard are a fantastic trio of Fall Seasonals from those guys.

    Oktoberfests and Pumpkin Ales....not so much...

    Pumking is my king of fall beers. Really looking forward to getting some Kaiser again though for some Imperial Oktoberfest. There's a couple other Pumpkins I like a bit, like Blue Point's, Southampton's, and Weyerbacher's. I'd really like to get my hands on some Schlafly's Oktoberfest again but that's not exactly easy to come by here, though I'm happy with Great Lakes. And, yeah, Founders having Breakfast Stout and Backwoods Bastard out soon enough makes me pretty happy.

    Surly Wet gets my vote! But drink that stuff as fresh as you can! The hops dropped off FAST last year!

    I'm not a fan of pumpkin beers. (I will try a couple again this year just in case my tastes have changed)

    For me it will be Breakfast Stout, Tumbler, Sam Smiths Nut Brown and a lot of DIPAs. Heady and Pliny taste great any season

    Just had one of my favorites, Great Lakes Oktoberfest. Also looking forward to Munsterfest, Pumking (just pumpkin beers in general), FBS, Nosferatu and hopefully getting to try New Glarus Staghorn, Uinta Oaked Jack, Bruery Autumn Maple, Sam Adams Fat Jack, Backwoods Bastard, Founders Harvest.
    Man, I love fall.

    I am a fan of Upslope's Pumpkin. I am not sure how much was available outside of the taproom last year, but I think they are putting it in cans this year. I remember them saying the everyone at the brewery had to take home and bake the pumpkins for the beer.

    Had the Schlafly Pumpkin for the first time (finally) this past week, totally worthy and lives up to the hype.

    I have drank so many FBS's, but I can't wait to get a hold of a fresh bottle or even a mug from the brewery... MMMMmmmm... Other than that, any stout from Founders is heaven on a cool fall day. Founder's Harvest Ale, and Dark Horse Plead the 5th RIS are getting me excited as well.

    I always grab some punkin and ST pumpking, but I usually just skip the fall and go right onto stouts and barleywines. Never too impressed by spiced brown ales that seem to be the typical autumn beer style.

    I have to agree with you wholeheartedly…I keep trying the fall brews every year, but winter warmers, stouts and barleywines I will drink all year round enjoying every sip!
