    Does anyone make a pumpkin lambic or sour?

    Timmerman's has one that came out recently. Tried it the other day and would definitely give it a try. I thought it was pretty damn good, very interesting and tasty. Tasted like an apple cider of sorts with some pumpkin flavor and the typical spices. Good tartness on it as well.

    Allagash had Ghoulship which I believe had pumpkin in it, I have heard of Timmerman's Pumpkin, and Jolly Pumpkin has la Parcela which I think is excellent.

    Grey Sail Brewing Company recently made a sour Pumpkin called their "Gourdemyces." Had it at a RI beer festival last weekend and it was pretty stellar. Though by the time I tried it my taste buds were pretty shot.

    JP La Parcela is the only one I've had, and it's one of my favorites. Captures the vegetal aspects of a meaty pumpkin rather than the "pie" target that so many shoot for with allspice nutmeg, cinnamon. A unique beer worth checking out.

    Does anyone know whether New Belgium Kick will be available in MI, or is it all gone? Can't seem to find when it came out, but sounds like a wonderful idea

    Portsmouth brewery just released pHunkin this past weekend. It's delicious but good luck getting any unless you want to take the trip up to NH.

    From their blog: "The pHunkin is a new beer for us. It is a American sour Pumpkin Ale. I promiuse you that it is unlike any pumpkin ale you have had before. The sour kettle technique gave a very nice fruity tartness up front that mellows as you drink it to a earthy body to the beer. If you are into sour beers, give this one a try."

    Kick came out last year, so it's all gone by now.

    Just saw Timmerman's at the local shop yesterday. Now my interest is piqued. I'll be grabbing this one on the way home!

    I've had Jolly Pumpkin La Parcela. I love most JP beers but was kind of disappointed by this one; neither the spices nor the funk really stood out. I've read lots of good things so maybe I got an off bottle so I plan to try it again.

    But, you could talk to someone, like me, trade something nice and have one to yourself.. See what I did there?
