    Smuttynose Pumpkin in the northeast. More of a pale ale with subtle pumpkin spice.

    Me too. A friend had it on tap and said it was the only pumpkin beer that rivals Pumking, in his opinion.

    not a huge fan of pumpkin beers but the Captain Lawrence Pumpkin Ale is really good. Has almost a belgian-y taste and the pumpkin isn't overpowering. Good stuff.

    Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin( Pugsley Signature Series). Southern Tier Pumking has a lot of fans, but I preferred the cidery-pumpkin taste of the Shipyard. I would like to try Schlafly and Cigar City pumpkin beers, which have an excellent reputation.

    We don't get this beer here. However, I am trying to get my St. Louis friend to buy me a bottle, if available, on her next trip there.

    I look forward to three- two frequently maligned brews, Heavy Seas' The Great'er Pumpkin and Sixpoint's Autumnation, and CBC's The Great Pumpkin.

    Is Treat readily available in the Northeast? Just read up on some of it's reviews, and it looks like a brew I would probably dig.

    Not really sure, one of my best friends lives right near the brewery and comes home to PA once or twice a year and she brings me all kinds of Alaskan goodies:slight_smile:

    Sad, but I'll not be partaking. I stopped trading in an effort to reallocate money towards homebrewing. Real story, it was what I needed to get blessing from my wife hahaha. I'm doing fine with the call, this one is just a casualty of the war hahaha.
