    Pumking..best one out there (i'll have it once or twice when it first comes out). Other than that, I don't really get into them anymore.

    Pumking
    Fermentation without Representation
    Rumkin
    Autumn Maple (Not a Pumpkin Ale per se but fits the category)

    I really want to love TREAT but it never seems to deliver on its potential.

    I read somewhere that they brewed a third batch of Ghoulschip in 2011...and that they cellar it for like 3 years or so...so we should see another release in the next couple of years...at which point I plan to purchase my limit...and hopefully the limit will be enough to hook a couple of people up while keeping a couple bottles for myself.

    My neighbor is from Erie. He actually brought home Stingy Jack from a visit last year. Good stuff!

    Not a huge fan of most of the popular pumpkin beers. I don't usually like all the spices that come through. I would rather have a pumpkin porter like Midnight Sun's TREAT but that's just me.

    Looking forward to finally trying Pumking this year. Last year, I really enjoyed Weyerbacher's Imperial Pumpkin Ale.

    Edit: also, Uinta's Oak Aged Pumpkin Ale (forget what it's called) was a really interesting take on the style. Not necessarily pumpkin pie in a bottle, but still complex and intriguing.

    I heard it was very good but I could never find it last year. Is it out yet?

    Mine is still the Pumking and by a wide margin, but this year I'm going to try hard and get some Good Gourd and Schlafly's sent to me and I know a place that gets Alewerks so I'll get to try that too I hope. Besides the Pumking I have to say I like having Wolaver's Pumpkin Ale. Good flavor too it, not too strong, and at a good price per sixer/case.

    It's been available at the brewery for a couple weeks now and I know some states have it. Leukens Liquors has it listed for sale on their online store. I'm expecting my case in the next ten days here in Pittsburgh.

    I've never seen the stuff here in Pittsburgh but we do get Stevens Point product. Hoping it hits shelves this year (and one of the GE's around here said they'd be getting it, so fingers crossed and all that).

    Unlike these other pumpkin beers, it doesn't come out until September 1.
