    I have an ST Warlock sitting in my fridge that I have yet to try yet but I'm sort of waiting for the right time...My favorite of all the ones I've tried so far is the Traveler's Jack O Shandy & the Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin.....but I'm always on the lookout for new ones to try.

    DFH Punkin is reliable, not over the top, just plain good every year. It's not the most intense pumpkin beer, but it's very solid.

    Elysian does pumpkin beers crazy well. Dark o' the Moon is my recent favorite from them.

    Midnight Sun's TREAT ... Imperial Chocolate Pumpkin Porter pretty much says it all. A good example of the over-the-top style of pumpkin beers.

    I just had Fall Hornin' from Anderson Valley last night. I liked it quite a bit.

    It begins and ends with Alewerks Pumpkin Ale with roasted pumpkin instead of puree which most brewers use, and they blend the spices to perfection without overloading you with ginger or other prominent spices that could be easily overdone.

    Pumpkin Stout from Cape Ann Brewery in Gloucester, Mass, without a doubt the best Pumpkin beer/ale. But it's far better in growlers from the brewer than the bottled version from Saratoga Springs.

    Good conversation. Quite a few out there I will have to try however my favorite is O'Fallon's Pumpkin Beer
    I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned.

    Thanks
