Pumpkin beer recommendations?

Following are my 3 all time favorite pumpkin beers:

 

I have a Smashed Pumpkin from last year hangnin' out in my cellar, never got around to drinkin' it. So it's better aged a year IYO?

 

I bought the regular shipyard pumpkin and the place had smashed pumpkin bombers. Should I go back and grab a bomber?

EDIT: DAMN IT. I wasted my money. People here say pumpkinhead is the worst they've had and hte reviews for hte brew on this site rank it under a 3. Uh oh.

 

Huge fan of the Dogfish Head Punkin', but wasn't able to find it in Michigan last year.

If anyone is up for a trade for some Michigan-made pumpkin beers (Jolly Pumpkin's "La Parcela," Griffin Claw's "Screamin' Pumpkin," Arcadia's "Jaw Jacker," New Holland's "Ichabod," North Peak's "Hooligan," etc.), I'd love to try some that don't get distributed in this neck of the woods (Cigar City, Schlafly, etc.). Let me know!

 

Good gourd
Good gourd almighty
Pumking

Mention worthy.. rumkin. I am sure this new terrapin pumpkin pie beer will be solid if it follows close to CR W-n-B

 

1) Barrel Aged Frog's Hollow Double Pumpkin Ale
2) Pumpking

If you haven't tried either, you're missing out!

Wishful Thinking....Bourbon County Pumpking Stout?!?!

 

Yes, when I first had Smashed Pumpkin it was decent. Then after about a year, I had one from the same batch and the pumpkin flavor was far more noticeable and therefore more enjoyable IMO.

 

I don't have a favorite Pumpkin beer, this is the one style that I don't like! To each his own.

 

DFH Punkin' has always been a Fall go to for me. Based on this list, I have some serious work to do. Thanks @drmcleod10 for getting it started!

 

I just spotted ST Pumking and warlock in my area! It's gonna be a nice 80 degrees here in CT, not sure if I have it in me I purchase any pumpkin beers yet!

 

DFH Punkin' is the sign of fall for me. Other breweries are trying to get me to recognize fall's existence in July/August. Bunch of bitches.

 

I loved Pumking but (locally) love Avery's Rumkin. The week before that comes out this year, they are releasing their new bourbon aged version, Pump(KY)n. Can't wait to try that one.

 

Sampled.pumping.this.weekend. It will he first pumpkin beer I and enjoy. .

 

Agree with most mentioned.

Stay away from Post Road though. One of the worst, yet seems to stock floor space in MD bottle shops more than most pumpkin brews.

 

Big Muddy: Pumpkin Smasher

 

Fall is pretty much my favorite time of year and although it's not Fall yet, I love it when pumpkin beers are released. I look forward to it every season.

My personal favorites:
Pumking
Schlafly
Elysian Night Owl
Elysian Great Pumpkin
Elysian Dark O' The Moon
Heavy Seas The Great'r Pumpkin
Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin

Honorable Mention:
Weyerbacher
Brewwork's Devious Pumpkin
Epic Fermentation w/out Representation
Carton Pumpkin Cream Ale
Samuel Adams Fat Jack

Guilty Pleasure:
Shipyard Pumpkinhead

Drinkable:
Riverhorse Hipp-O-Lantern
Smuttynose
Samual Adams Harvest Pumpkin Ale

Most Overrated:
DFH Punkin' - I really don't care for this one. Try to give it a chance every year and I'm just always let down.

Want List:
Pumpkinator
CCB Good Gourd
Avery Rumpkin
Horsheads Pumpkin Ale

Not Good At All:
Brooklyn Old Post - I must be missing something but there is never anything remotely Pumpkin about this beer.
The Pumple Drumkin - quite possibly the worst

 

Sam Adams Harvest Pumpkin Ale, O'Fallon Pumpkin Beer, Southern Tier Pumking

 

Forgot about Hoppin' Frog. Pretty decent.

Wishful thinking is right. I'd be all over some BCPS....Holy mackerel there Mahoney. If anyone could do it right, it would be those guys.

 

Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin. I believe this has the best balance of flavors. Many of the other general pumpkin beers don't carry much pumpkin or pumpkin spice flavors. This one is thorough....and available year-round.

 

I didn't know they did a pumpkin ale, will definitely keep an eye open for it...
