    A friend from PA wants to trade mixed six packs of pumpkin beers that aren't distributed to each other's states.

    I know how seak a brew works but I'm having a hard time coming up with Michigan pumpkin beers. Griffen claw is the only one I know of right now.

    I told him to give me a few weeks but he's already got his six ready. Can anyone help me out?

    Not sure what makes it to PA, but here are some I thought of right away. Ichabod by New Holland, Jaw Jacker by Arcadia, Hooligan by North Peak.

    Brewery Vivant's Pumpkin Tart was easily my favorite pumpkin beer from last year. According to untappd I had this for the first time on 10/19/14 so this may not hit shelves until later in the fall, if they are brewing it at all this year, but its definitely worth checking out.

    Lakfefront (Milwaukee, WI) does a brandy barrel imperial pumpkin ale that is pretty good. They also do a pumpkin lager, but I haven't tried that one. Not from Michigan, but distributed there.

    Not sure how close you are to Ohio, but Hoppin' Frogs BA Frog's Hollow Double Pumpkin Ale is one to check out. BM me if you need one...

    Lakefront has pretty limited distribution in MI. I asked one of my local beer guys if they'd be getting in the brandy barrel, and he wasn't sure.
