    Just an FYI, Tröegs Master Of Pumpkins is being released today on draft and is available for growlers. 750ml cork and cage bottles to follow in the not so distant future.

    Official word from the Tröegs twitter: #masterofpumpkins is now on draft in the Tasting Room!!! Growler fills too. Come and get it! #MOP #craftbeer #pabeer

    Pretty interesting to see a pumpkin release this late into the seasonal cycle. At least they'll still be some fresh pumpkin beer out there when all the holiday beers are coming out next month.

    Will the 750ml cork and cage bottles be available outside the brewery?

    The newsletter they sent out at the beginning of the month said for sale at the brewery only.

    Yeah the MOP is brewery only. Bottles are going on sale today, singles and cases available.
    LeGrave will be going on sale today as well. A little info for you guys not on the newsletter...

    With our new cork and cage bottle filler up and running, we’re excited to announce the release of our inaugural year-round bottle conditioned beer – LaGrave! Inspired by nature’s untamed beauty, LaGrave is a strong, alluring Triple Golden Ale brewed with Belgian yeast, allowing the palate to twist and turn in many different directions. LaGrave’s initial flavor is sweet and fruity, then follows through with a semi-dry, lingering bitter finish. LaGrave will be available in 4-packs of 375mL bottles in our General Store as well as select retailers throughout Pennsylvania only. Look for LaGrave to be on shelves by late October.

    I don't know man, I want to try this but it's a little late for pumpkin beers. I mean, it's October and I was enjoy some Pumking in the chilly month of July!

    All kidding aside, if anybody plans on picking some up and willing to trade, BM me and we can work something out.

    I think MOP is 12.99 per bottle, $15 for a growler. Wasn't a big fan of it

    I think lagrave is 14$ a four pack and about $80 a case. These are ballpark numbers but close.

    LaGrave is $75 plus tax per case, ends up being $79.50 all said and done.

    I know everyone jokes about the whole "this years isnt as good as last years" mentality. But seriously, this is nothing like what was on tap last year. The bottle I drank last night was the most over-spiced pumpkin ale ive ever come across. The reviews are starting to stack up and im not the only one that thinks a whoopsie happened.

    That's a shame. Not sure if I'll get a chance to try it or not. That depends on how fast it sells. I doubt I'll have a chance to go to the brewery for at least a week or two.

    Bought 3 bottles and had a glass on draft. It's alright. I don't think it's as bad as everyone is saying. But the spice flavor is definitely ramped up. Going to trade these 3 bottles so if anyone is interested just let me know.

    I am looking forward to trying it from the bottle. I had a glass on tap and got a growler to compare with the bottle.

    It sounds so incredibly bad, I almost feel like I have to try it...

    Any thoughts on LaGrave? I was planning on a trip up this weekend but based on the spice bomb reviews my enthusiasm is waning. LaGrave sounds interesting though so I'm still debating.

    Its not like boogoop or Indian wells raspberry bad. If rogue released this and called it "voodoo spiced pumpkin muffin", it would be the best in that series of beers, but only slightly.
