why is this beer 20 dollars per four pack?
I suggest Three Floyds Dark Lord, then.that's bull****, **** them. I'll try another kind.
This brings up a question I wanted to pose to the HBT community. DO you think you would really drink 5 gallons of this? My thing is this, just like with pumpkin pie, The first slice or two is AMAZING!! You are in flavor heaven with your tongue getting massaged by these beautiful pumpkin shaped flavor molecules of awesome while sweet spices sing lullaby's of perfect brew days gone by and to come. Then you have a few more slices and you start getting sick of it. You have another slice and you can't even finish it. This is my thing with pumpkin ale.
It tastes great at first and other than giving it away as gifts will you really go through a 5 gallon batch? Or more importantly would it be worth it to you to take up the space in your pipeline for this beer instead of something you would drink everyday and ask for more, like your absolutely amazing house stout recipe that you are running low on?
I'm planning on making a pumpkin clone next week, is there that big of a difference with "organic" pumpkin?
Bought several cans of organic pumpkin off Amazon a month ago for under $2 maybe dfh should buy theirs somewhere else...lol my pumpkin had no pumpkin or spice flavor when I bottled it. Hope it comes around in a couple months?

I guess that depends on whether or not you like pumpkin beer, doesn't it...I haven't done it in two years, but I used to brew a pumpkin beer every year, and really liked it.
Now to be fair, the reason I stopped brewing it every year was because my time is limited, and there have been other things I wanted to brew, but it wasn't because I go to the point where I couldn't possibly drink another pumpkin beer!
If I brewed 10 gallon batches, that wouldn't be enough pumpkin ale for me and my wife. I love fall for 3 reasons: nighttime temps in Florida start to think about being not oppressive, real football (read not NFL, but rather college) starts, and pumpkin ale!
I know there are only a few months a year when it's available and appropriate to drink and I take full advantage. Come Oct 10 (when my batch is scheduled to be ready), I will drink little else.
