Favorite Fall Beers

My favorite is CBC's Great Pumpkin Ale. Not so in your face and very drinkable. I also like Cape Ann's Pumpkin Stout.

 

Some local breweries release their Oktoberfest and getting them fresh the one thing I look forward to the most. Notably, Port City and Mad Fox, will drink their fresh releases by the growler full then move on. For pumpkin beers, I've had quite a few but most look forward to the Schlafly one.

 

Good Ol' Fezziwig. Is there any talk about putting them in six packs?

 

Pumking
DFH Punkin
BA Autumn Maple
Uinta Oak Jacked

 

I have the 100% Brett version if you're interested. I don't think I'll ever get around to drinking it.

 

SN tumbler is nice, gets my vote: cannot do the pumpkin thing though

 

Fav Pumpkins;

Hoppin' Frog Frog's Hollow Dbl Pumpkin
Smuttynose Pumpkin
Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin
Cape Ann Pumpkin Stout
Schlafly Pumpkin
any pumpkin from Elysian

Love the late summer / early fall when all these come out!

 

Oak aged Pumking is phenomenal if you can get your hands on it. And if you have the chance, which you won't, because this is a ridiculously rare probability, but if you can mix it with Gorilla Warfare by Sixpoint, it's devilishly delicious.

 

I too have a weakness for O'Fallon's Pumpkin

But my favorite has to be New Holland's Ichabod

 

"Best pumpkin ale..."

There is no such thing.

 

I actually just picked up a bottle of Fuego Del Otono today. Batch 907, bottled 11-02-2011, or so the sticker says.

The liquor store by my office is the "Land of Beer that Time Forgot". 2010 Yeti and Kasteel Rouge all around the place - and that's without looking very hard.

 

Just bought my first case of autumn tumbler for the year. $27 wholesale, love the price on such a great beer.

 

This is now on my list of things to do before I live.

 

I've had a couple of these. I seem to like the ones that taste more pumkin-y and less like pie spices. What have people found to be the most pumpkin tasting? It has been Pumking for me.

 

The best by far pumkin beer ive ever had, was the pumkin from Horseheads Brewery in Horseheads NY, and the 2nd would be Fegleys Devious Imperial Pumkin, haven't seen either of these mentioned yet.

 

Fall is almost here ... What are you excited to drink this fall?

 

Any and almost every Oktoberfest. And a few pumpkin beers.

 

Tumbler! I still think it's too hot to drink pumpkin ales but once it cools off I'm sure I'll pick up a bunch of Weyerbacher Impy Pumpkin, Pumking, Sam Adams Pumpkin, Southampton Pumpkin, Heavy Seas Great Pumpkin, Elysian Night Owl, and hopefully some Uinta Oak Jacked and Avery Rumpkin.

Edit: And also The Bruery Autumn Maple. Can't forget one of my favorites last year.

 

Anchor Humming rarely gets mentioned, but it's really good.
