You don’t believe the story of the Great Pumpkin?

Linus: “On Halloween night, The Great Pumpkin rises from his pumpkin patch and flies through the air to deliver toys to all the children.”
What pumpkin beers have you tried? Give us some suggestions…we want to try a few more next week!

Spaten Oktoberfest, Sam’s Oktoberfest, Dogfish Head’s Punkin Ale are all good. I didn’t care for Harvest Moon Pumpkin Ale, Schlafly Pumpkin Ale. I’d like to hear about Brooklyn Brewery’s Post Road Pumpkin Ale.
Try the Dogfish Head Punkin Ale.
Best pumpkin I’ve had is Shipyard from Baltimore (I think it was Shipyard). Completely agree with Save the Cheese.
Prepare for Christmas, and get Troeg’s Mad Elf. It’s a 12% christmas beer that is made in East PA (and yes, probably only found in PA). I actually have a strong dislike of it, but most people love it.
Did I sense some ‘pint envy’ at the end of that lesson?
i went looking for the pumpkin beer at trader joe’s. they were out.
so, i tried the apricot from kennebunkport. it was good but on the fruity side. probably wouldn’t buy again.
