    I'm so over the summer beer season. Is it just me or is this year the worst with respect to selections on tap in beer bars? It seems like the seasonal varieties coming in are all uninteresting!

    I'm ready for an up-tick in Ambers, Harvests, Oktoberfests, etc.

    Which brew are you anxiously awaiting?

    Well, I'm not with you yet, but I did see that Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin is scheduled to drop this week. Too early for me!

    You're the one pushing the seasons, eh? :wink:

    After last winter, I'm hanging on to all the summer I can get!

    Autumn is my least favorite time of year as far as seasonals are concerned. I do look forward to
    Weihenstephaner O-fest.

    I agree that summer may be my least favorite time of year for seasonal brews. I love all of the fall seasonals, but I've got a soft spot for Oktoberfests. The combination of college football and a good Marzen style beer is so great.

    This is the truth. As long as it's warm out I'll drink anything.

    For those of us living in the parts of Minnesota that don't get BC ANYTHING.... all I can do is be sad.

    Shorts every day and a nice tan? No, I'm not ready for summer to be over! This has also been a summer of beer love for me trying lots of sours/wilds and my new love, Gose.

    Fall is my favorite beer season. Love pumpkins and oktoberfests.

    Edit: Fall is also my favorite time of year in general so I'm sure theres some bias in my thoughts about it. Football, foliage, pumpkins, cool air.

    That being said I will not drink a single pumpkin beer until after Labor Day. Seeing pumpkin beer on the shelves in July is no good. /seasonal creep rant over.

    Wish I could agree. I would rather drink Michelob Ice Light 60 than a pumpkin beer.

    Pumking and Bowhunting Baby! Wish Autumn was endless - there's always the overhanging cloud of looming winter... and after last winter, I'm ready to be done with winter altogether.

    Double trouble comes out in the summer. What else do you need?

    I just want my Founder's Breakfast Stout back. I didn't buy enough before the season was over and now I'm fiending like a crack head.

    Sweet Boneless Jesus! NO! Summer is just getting started around these parts. Plenty of tasty Lagers to be had right now. And, I hate pumpkin, so that nasty shit can just stay the hell away for a good long while yet.

    No! This is getting ridiculous. Seasonal beers already come out two months before the season starts. Most fall seasonals come out in August. Then you have Christmas beers on October/first week of November. Spring in Jan/Feb, etc..
