It's back from the dead!!

Dan Rogers was the original recipe brewer when he was at MBC, and bought it when MBC went under. It was back last year at Griffin Claw as well. It was a shell of it's previous version IMO.

These new cans look cool, but I hope it doesn't taste like it did last year.

 

Should be hitting distro next week in Oakland/Macomb. Pumpkin and Octo should be appearing all over starting then....sorry summer lovers

 

I thought it was pretty close to what I remembered. What about it led you to that opinion?

 

I was of the same opinion that it did not seem as good....With that said, now that it seems they got the hang of their new equipment and this being the second time they made it, I expect it to be just as wonderful as I remember

 

More of a dry finish with less sweet brown sugar.

 

Yeah, I was missing the sweetness of it....It used to be my favorite pumpkin beer just ahead of Liberty streets pumpkin pie..last year pumpkin pie blew it out of the water...

 

Fair enough, fellas. I enjoyed it quite a bit and it's probably my wife's favorite beer. We didn't notice but maybe we were blinded by a bit of euphoria.

 

Unless I overlooked it, I didn't see a release date. Has anyone seen it on shelves yet or know if it hits distribution anytime soon?

 

Should start getting out to distro this upcoming week or the next depending upon where you are

 

Anybody seeing this yet? Hoping a good amount of it gets released. For what pumpkin beers are worth, this is a good one .

 

There's a lot of it already out there. The cans look cool.

 

Awesome thank u. I'll have to track some down, the wife was pretty sad when MBC closed and this beer was no longer made

 

One of my favorite pumpkin beers on tap last year. One of the pumpkin beers I am looking forward to the most in bottles/cans this year. The only one I may be looking forward to more is Vivants Pumpkin Tart.

 

I'm very picky about pumpkins beers and I remember trying this on tap last year and thinking it had a touch too much spice to it. I'll still get some though, will be cool to have a canned pumpkin beer.

 

It's all over the place in Oakland County. Nearly every store I have visited in Royal Oak and Bloomfield areas have it,a long with a ton of bars I have hit. Also, Griffin Claw is in Oakland County, so you could always hit it up to buy it from the source!

 

Hell, its all over wayne...every store in livonia i have stopped at has it.

 

The beer is making its last appearances in Oakland County, get it while you can, the distro is out, so you should be able to find it.
