Favorite Pumpkin Beers

Everyone here seems to hate it but I honestly love Southern Tier Warlock.

 

Haven't had a lot of the ones mentioned in this thread yet... but I was pleasantly surprised by Brothers' Fairgrounds Fall Ale last year. Bought a single bottle not even realizing it was a pumpkin beer (it did say it was on the bottle, as I found later, but somehow I had missed it at the time?), and then it turned out to be my favorite pumpkin beer so far.

 

Heavy Seas Greater Pumpkin
Dogfish Punkin
Evolution Jacques Au Lantern
Ballast Point Pumpkin Down

 

My favorite every year tends to be Heavy Seas Greater Pumpkin

 

Just recently relocated to NorCal from CT and just discovered Buffalo Bill's Black Pumpkin Oatmeal Stout, Delicious! Especially for under $5 for a bomber.

Can only imagine this would be great to have nitro.

 

Schlafly... It's delicious like pumpkin pie and packs a punch.... Incredible beer

 

Dogfish Head is always a go to for me. Schlafly and Southampton are nice as well.

Pumiking and Warlock if you're feeling adventurous

 

Warlock

 

DFH punkin is my fav. NB pumpkick, and SA pumpkin are are distant 2nd and 3rd.

 

For me, Schlafly pumpkin isthe best, perfect combo of pumpkin, pumpkin pie spices, malt backbone, and well hidden abv.
I also really like Rogue pumpkin patch and pumpkin savior, Lakefront imperial pumpkin, and Boulevard Funky Pumpkin.
I'm looking forward to trying pumpking, warlock, and Nebraska brewing wick for brains.

 

the beer that started me into good craft beer

 

Cigar City's Good Gourd. Had my first of the season last night. Although I'm not a huge pumpkin beer fan, this is always a go-to when it comes out each year.

 

Imperial Pumpkin Ale- Weyerbacher
Roadsmary's Baby- Two Roads
Devious Imperial Pumpkin- Fegley's (Allentown Brew Works)
Pumpkinfest- Stoudts
Warlock- Southern Tier

 

I loved that, and was pissed that I discovered it too late last year to get any more of it. All summer I kept checking their website to see if it was going to be brewed again, and now that it's pumpkin season, they've taken it OFF the site, even though they have other beers still listed that I haven't seen in years if ever. Now doubly pissed...

I'm wondering if Troegs Master Of Pumpkins would taste similar, since it claims to be fermented with a saison yeast. I've been hesitant to try it because of the price, although one local store recently put out some from last year at a few dollars off what the new price was...

 

A never buy for me, to be honest I can't stand them, IMO they're all spice bombs.

 

DFH Punkin and Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin. DFH has a great balance; I would drink it all the time if I had the stock. Weyerbacher's is a bomb of flavor (imo), and it's perfect on a cool fall night.

 

I like it as well. Pumking too.

I get those who don't enjoy style but I think that an unusual amount of hate is heaped upon ST for its pumpkin beers.

 

I just picked up one of those Upslope's.

Cheers!

 

That's a good one.

Cheers!
