    No thread this year? I walked into a store today and there it sat. I totally forgot about it. When did this hit? It was a 1 bottle limit and I would like to grab a few more. Is it still in SA? I found mine at the Total Wine on 410.

    There is a pumpkin beer thread so that's probably why.

    There should still be some left. I saw a few cases at the Kroger on Buffalo Speedway (at Westpark) just yesterday.

    They're out. I went Thursday night and they had one bottle left after I got one.

    In SA, canyon golf market (shell gas station on canyon golf in stone oak area) still had some as of Sunday....2 bottle limit. WoB has it on draft. This year tastes better to me than last. Had two different flights of pumpkin beers at WoB and Pumpkinator blew them all away in my opinion.

    We did a DR9, and Pumpkinator '12-'14 last night. Most of us had 13 being the winner. 14 was a little to dry for me and weird. All 3 tasted like different beers for sure.

    I opened a 2013 last week and it was completely flat. Didn't see anything wrong with the cap, drank it anyway.

    Every year I find that I prefer the bottle that has aged one year over the fresh and the bottle aged two years. So I'm not surprised the '13 compares favorably. Next year, I expect the '14 to compare favorably.
