    Yes, we all see the numerous Pumpkin beer threads this time of year. I apologize in advance for yet another. I have had a hard time finding good pumpkin beers here. I really like Dogfish Head Punkin, but other than that I have not found anything very tasty. I see threads all the time with numerous suggestions, but most of those pumpkin beers are not available here.
    Can anyone help me out and recommend something good available in So-Cal?

    Uinta Oaked Jack is very good. That'll be out soon I'm assuming.

    Nice, I will pick up both of those. Kern River beers are hard for me to find though..

    I like Rumpkin. Mainly though because it's more rum than pumpkin.

    Not sure who's releasing pumpkin beers this year, but from last year I remember the one's mentioned above and these:
    Hangar 24 - Gourdgeous
    Bootlegger's - Pumpkin Ale
    Bruery - Autumn Maple
    Jolly Pumpkin - La Parcela
    Uinta - Punk'n Harvest
    Manzanita - Witch's Hair
    Tap's Fish House - Pumpkin Ale (on tap/growler only)

    There is one that was recently released that I really like, but I'm not going to say what it is until I hoard my heirlooms (ooops).

    Have you seen Rumpkin in the area yet? Missed out last year. Would like to get a hold of a few bottles. It should available soon if not now.

    Nope, not yet – the past two years they’ve come out in October, so guessing they’ll do the same this year and not jump on the summer pumpkin beer bandwagon. :wink:

    Good thread - I have been curious too. And luckily when I was in NY 2 weeks back, I picked up a bottle of Pumking :wink:

    Now you are making me want to go buy more (got the last one at Whole Foods in Pasadena) but I spent all of my beer funds on Duck Duck Gooze.
