    I always grab a few packs of punkin and bombers of pumpking. TREAT and rumpkin are huge wants of mine though.

    JP La Parcela is one of my favorite beers though. I had an aged bottle that was just insane, it was like an autumn themed saison with tons of funk and spice.

    ST Pumking used to be my favorite, but it has since become too sweet for my taste buds...

    that being said DFH Punkin' is my current fave, and it is pretty widely available.

    Echoing many others, my go-to is ST Pumking.

    Aside from that though, I'd also have to recommend The Bruery's Autumn Maple and Kern River's Pumpkin Ale. Both delicious!

    I didn't really think of it as Belgian-like at all. Just a really good, creamy, lightly spiced pumpkin ale that comes the closest to tasting like a good pumpkin pie to me.

    Pumpkin beers suck.

    Drink fresh hop ales.

    EDIT: TREAT is really delicious.

    I'm looking forward to Bob's 47 from Boulevard and Schlafly's Pumpkin Ale.

    My vote:

    Pumking
    Rumpkin
    Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin
    Dogfish Punkin

    In that order. Every other pumpkin beer I've had has seemed pretty "meh".

    I LOVED Victory's Festbier last year and SN Tumbler is always a great go-to. But I lean towards preferring Oktoberfests, rather than Pumpkin ales.

    Jolly Pumpkin La Parcela
    DFH Punkin
    Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin

    I know I'm in the minority here, but I do not like ST's Pumking.

    I tried quite a few pumpkin beers last year and Cigar City's Good Gourd was my favorite. Can't wait to try this year's batch.

    As far as last year Dogfish Head, Weyerbacherm and GLBC were my favorites. I was really disappointed with New Holland's Ichabod unless I bought two bad six packs

    I'm glad someone started this thread. I really want to put together a pumpkin beer tasting this fall and this thread really helps me with what to look out for.

    As soon as Schlaflys pumpkin beer hits the shelves I'm going to start an ISO: Pumpkin Beers FT: Schlafy

    Sounds like there is definitely some interest in Schlafly's release so hopefully I can get a nice lineup!
