know i'm forgetting a few...

 

I'll always pick up any pumpkin beer I see so long as I know I haven't had it before, but few really impress me enough to warrant purchasing the next year.

If I had access to Breakfast Stout at a reasonable (non-LA) price, I'd blow through my savings account picking it up.

 

Many, many great seasonal beers have been mentioned. I'll add one that everyone may not agree with, New Belgium Frambozen. I find it to be a really nice drinking beer with great flavor for a fall or winter day. Also compliments the seasonal food quite well.

 

Anchor Christmas ale

 

Great Thread:
Celebration
Hopslam
Schlafly Pumpkin
Nugget Nectar
SA Summer Ale
Double Trouble
Estate Ale
Stone Anniversary IPA/Ruination
Old Fezziwig

Those are the ones I look for every year. Yumm!

 

Hopslam.

 

Jolly Pumpkin La Parcela
Lagunitas Lil Somethin Wild
Lagunitas Undercover investigation Shutdown Ale
Lagunitas Sucks
Green Flash Palate Wrecker
Green Flash Rayon Vert

Just off the top of my head...

 

I only have one to add. Schlafly American IPA. I really wish it were a year around brew.

 

So many to name so I'll just mention my two previous purchases instead:
Founders Breakfast Stout
Founders Backwoods Bastard

Cheers.

Usually by at least a 6er of celebration

A lot of once a year releases underwhelmed me (I'm 22 so I'm 15 months into craft). No Nugget Nectar for me, maybe a bottle or 2 of Hopslam. Not into pumpkin beers really. Good and bad. Not a lot of special stuff to look forward to, but my favorite stuff is available all the time (given a 7-8 hour trip to Vermont lol).

 

I just got a bottle of that in a trade and damn it was tasty stuff. It was hands down the favorite beer of the night during a recent small bottle share.
