Pumpkin beer recommendations?

http://www.stbcbeer.com/beer-finder/

I found one place close to Pittsburgh. Tons in Ohio, where I got mine. They also sell it around me, but I'm in Lancaster.

 

Oh everyone around here has Southern Tier, just no Pumking.

One grocery store in my area is getting it at some point, doesn't know when, and it will be limited.

 

Do you have Giant Eagle grocery stores in Pittsburgh?

 

Weird. I know one store here in Columbus had it all year long. Either they ordered way too much or the stuff just didn't sell (Im guessing both).

 

According to the Beer Finder, supposedly Brentwood Dist in West Mifflin has Pumking.

 

Hal and Al's orders enough every year to have it year round - I love them.

 

Southern Tier Pumking
Cigar City Good Gourd
Avery Rumpkin
Schlafly Pumpkin Ale
Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin
Elysian The Great Pumpkin
Elysian Dark o' the Moon
Dogfish Head Punkin
Uinta Oak Jacked Pumpkin

 

There is a punkin release party at all the dogfish locations on saturday, I would imagine its out by now, thought I haven't seen it yet

 

St Arnold Pumkinator from down in Houston truly is a world class beer.

Not a Dopplebock as the name might suggest - an awesome Imperial stout

I asked this in another thread, but has anyone had the Blue Mountain Brewery Spooky Ale? It's a pumpkin beer brewed with chocolate and aged in bourbon barrel. The bottle is pretty cool too, I haven't opened it yet.

 

Its called pumking for a reason

 

Have to go with Good Gourd.

 

What?!! Where did you find that at?

 

Got it at a local bottle shop when I saw them Tweet a picture of it from their account. They had one bottle left. Kind of expensive at around $12 for something that doesn't have much of a reputation yet. Hell, it's not even registered in the BeerAdvocate system yet. Untappd has about 30 check-ins with it, but not enough ratings to get a feel of how good it is. Here's the bottle cover:

Buffalo Bills Pumkin (Hayward, CA), Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin... Rogues and DFH was OK! any one try the new New Belgium Pumpkick!?

 

I have....I liked it a lot actually. It changed my girlfriend from a pumping lover to a whole Hog lover.

 

I am rooting for AND against the possibility of a typo here... lol.

But back on topic:
1. Good Gourd
2. Weyerbacher
3. Pumpking
4. Almost not worth mentioning: Shipyard's Pumpkinhead

 

Ladies like the whole hog. At least that is what they say in the South.

 

I have tried the Pumpkick and it was alright. The problem with so many pumpkin beers like Pumpkick, even though it's my favorite seasonal style, is that most aren't pumpkinish enough, or they over spice and mask the pumpkin flavor. I think that's why Pumking is always on peoples favorites list of pumpkin beers because, though too sweet to some, it's got lots of pumpkin flavor. Dogfish does a good job, New Holland's Ichabod is pretty good too, and there are a number of others, but it's more miss than hit.

 

Def. a typo....but a pretty well placed one
