    I think I just puked in my mouth. Pumpkin beer has that effect on me.

    That means we're 3-4 weeks away from fresh hop season!

    The pumpkin beers can suck it!

    Are we even certain that it's THIS year's Pumking, not unsold swill from the halcyon days of 2017?

    I will buy Hacker-Pschorr Okto and Spaten Okto. I always used to buy a case of Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin, but no more. The Hacker-Pschorr is nice and dryish, and Spaten is pure nostalgia.

    I’ve been craving some Hacker-pschorr Oktoberfest for the past few weeks, I’m sure the next time I go to my distro it’s gonna be right there next to the Paulaner Oktoberfest too!

    Not if it were dated, say, July 14th.

    Similarly, I'd buy more Oktoberfests overall, including in October if they weren't dated from end of spring. But I am obviously/financially in the minority.

    I recognize this is a tongue in cheek comment but...since Celebration is brewed using freshly picked but dried hops this is one fall beer that can not be a 'creep' beer. Unless some scientist learns how to accelerate a hop harvest!?!:thinking_face:

    Cheers!

    Pumpkins and beer go together like tuna and peanut butter for me beer wise.

    I dunno about this years fresh hop season. Most FH beers are draft only, and with all the Covid restrictions in place, and possibly tightening back up, I wonder how much effort breweries are gonna put forth.

    Add in the fact that the Yakima area is overwhelmed with cases, and they've got other crops to get in, it might be an off year for fresh hop brews.
