    Evolution Brewing's Jacques Au Lantern and Schlafly's Pumpkin Ale. Both are phenomenal.

    I must be the only one who likes pugsley's smashed pumpkin. Had it on tap, definitely a one pint experience, but it was good.

    Just tried this beer on Saturday night. I've had more than 20 different pumpkin beers. Warlock may be my new favorite. Not as pumpkiny as others, but a damn fine beer. Need to have it again to confirm its status on my list.

    Yeah. Even though I know Point does a ton of contract brews, I still associate them with crappy lager (which is about all we get from them in our market). I saw this on tap and had to try it. I think this is the new King of pumpkin beer. Simply amazing. Nice job Point!

    Finally had a chance to try DFH's Punkin.
    New champion for me. More "real" and an outstanding brew. Pumking is more a dessert beer.

    I think this year it's Southern Tier Warlock. It's an imperial cream stout and a hint of pumpkin and clove... beautiful dark head and rich lacing. I loved it on draft and in the bottle. I distribute beer in Savannah and I ran through 10 sixtles of it in 4 days.

    Last night I cracked open a Riverhorse Hipp-O-lantern Imperial Pumpkin Ale, thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Up until this week the only pumpkin beer I can remember trying is Pumking which is tasty but I agree more as a dessert beer. Earlier in the week I picked up some Schlafly which I thought was good and a bottle of Warlock which I haven't tried yet.

    I almost ordered some Weyerbacher Imperial as it's fairly local but the server where I was eating specifically recommended I avoid it...

    Too bad. Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale is a pretty good pumpkin beer.

    It's a very easy to find beer around these parts so I'll be giving it a shot soon I'm sure.

    Had this one last night. Kicking my own ass for not getting more when I had the chance.

    Crown Valley, ST Pumking, and CCB Good Gourd are my favorite 3 so far. All very different, but very good.

    Finally tried Good Gourd, and it blew my mind.
    Others I love are:
    Weyerbacher
    Long Trail
    Horseheads
    Almanac
    Pumking

    I like most pumpkin beers!

    I think I'm the only person that drain poured Warlock...
    I was expecting to love it, I shouldn't have bought so many.
