Pumpkin Ale season is a comin'

[MisterTipsy]

New Belgium Kick is unusual. It's cranberry and funky/rotten pumpkin.

 

[scottland]

Four Peaks Pumpkin Porter is fantastic. FP doesn't distribute outside of AZ, and it's only sold on tap, but it's a fantastic Pumpkin beer. Pumpkin spice character is very subtle, and the pumpkin flavor melds with the porter flavor very well.

Pumpkinator by St. Arnold is by far my favorite. I love the pumpkin ale time of year, such great brews for a great season.

 

[Genuine]

My Favorites are as follows:

Smuttynose Pumpkin
DFH Punkin
Southern Tier Pumking
Cisco Pumple Drumkin
and Avery Rumpkin.

I have not had to many of the beers listed but my top 3 are new Holland icabod dfh punkin and southern teir pumpking but the latter is a bit sweet for my taste

 

[Brewskii]

Southern Tier Pumpking has the same spin on pumpkin beer as their un-earthly is to IIPA.... It's so sweet as to be almost undrinkable and an experience that offers no desire for a return visit to the glass.

My opinion.

 

[fnord]

I did have Punkin' through a Randall once with cinnamon sticks, toasted pepitas, and split vanilla beans.

I just drooled on my keyboard.

My vote goes to Schlafly Pumpkin ale, which i am currently enjoying right now

My opinion.

Couldnt agree more. I bought 2 bottles of this last year and could barely choke down the first one I opened. The gram cracker flavoring reminded me of the hazelnut syrup they put in iced coffee. The second one is still sitting in my frig.

My favorite pumpkin beer has to be DFHs

I like saint Arnold's pumpkinator it is a pumpkin porter from a brewery in Houston but only available in a bomber.

With name like ator, are you sure its not a doppelbock

 

[Genuine]

Looks like sam Adams has a new pumpkin ale out....

By the reviews it's Sounding to be a pretty good one. Cannot wait to try that and rumpkin!

Its not a doppelbock like the name said. Its and imperial pumpkin stout and it is delicious

 

[metaltff]

Pumpkin beers are my favorite. Here's my favorite ones so far:

Schlafly Pumpkin Ale
Ofallon Pumpkin
Southern Tier Pumking
Shipyard Pumpkinhead

I've always wanted to try the DFH Punkin but you can't get their beers anywhere around here.

Looking forward to this,I would say I kinda enjoy their small batch series so far. And dont forget to try a Shipyard "Smashed Pumpkin" I think its awsome.

 

[Challenger440]

I have a Southern Tier Pumpking that I saved from last year that I am waiting to pop open. I figured it will either be amazing or taste like a dirty ball sack, but I am willing to risk balls for greatness!

 

[walterdreyer]

Trailheads pumpkin beer was fantastic last year.

 

[denverDA]

My Favorites are as follows:

Smuttynose Pumpkin
DFH Punkin
Southern Tier Pumking
Cisco Pumple Drumkin
and Avery Rumpkin.

How long has Avery been doing the rumpkin? I had last years batch and I couldn't even come close to finishing the meager 12oz bottle. Thought it was way too overpowering with rum/alcohol flavor. Especially for the price.

One of my favorite pumpkin beers is Harpoon Brewery's UFO Pumpkin. It is very limited unfortunately, but delicious. Other favorites are ST Pumking (pumpkin pie spice bomb, a little sweet), and Heavy Seas pumpkin. We're brewing 1 straight and 1 with bourbon in a month. Looking forward to all the great pumpkin beers.

Elysian Brewing Night Owl Pumpkin Ale is the best I have ever had. Hands down

 

[barneygumble]

Shipyard Pumpkinhead and my buddy's smoked pumpkin harvest ale.

 

[DeadNutsBrewing]

I like the DFH punkin and Big Boss Harvest Time Pumpkin. I jumped the gun myself and already have 10 gallons fermenting away. Cant wait!!

 

[hoptualBrew]

I would have to say Smuttynose makes a damn fine pumpkin ale & is probably my favorite. A big pumpkin ale that is more like a one bottle sipper that is great is Cigar City's Good Gourd. They come in 750ml bottles, which is more than enough. The Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale though I could easily drink a whole 6 pack on multiple occassions!

 

[ebskinner1]

I contacted Avery about Rumkin......Not sounding very promising! They said they have about half of what they had last year and will have enough for their party. I hope thats not true cause I would really like to try Rumkin! I was invited to the party.....to bad I live in Michigan!

 

[ArcaneXor]

My favorites are Southern Tier Pumking and Cigar City's Good Gourd.

 

[craigger64]

Tried my first Southern Tier Pumking today.

Wish I hadn't bought two bottles.

 

[Moratorium]

O'fallon Pumpkin Ale is by far and away the best pumpkin ale out there. Schlafly's is a good attempt but it does quite get there. Blue Moon's is also decent. O'fallon just makes it hard to compare too. It is not overspiced, which is common with so many pumpkin ales out there today.

Love Southern Tier Pumking... but after two I forget my name and wake up with my pants off so for multiples I love the Harpoon UFO Pumpkin !!
