Stay on them man, if you haven't had it yet I HIGHLY recommend it. So damn good.

Stopped and bought 3 more cleaning the store out this season :)

Re: beer hauls
 

Pumking is ok, but I still think DFH's punkin ale is light years better. Harpoon's new pumpkin ale wasnt half bad either.

Re: beer hauls
 

I just tried the DFH Punkin and i prefer the Southern Tier. The DFH is good but it was far to subtle in the pumpkin spice flavor that i was looking for. :2

Re: beer hauls
 

Well I have a 4 Pack of DFH Punkin chillin in the fridge also, I will try that tonight.

Had Saranac Pumpkin and it sucked, Blue Moon was ok but tasted like a light beer. Still have HS Greater Pumpkin to try also & SA Harvest Pumpkin.

Re: beer hauls
 

If you're a pumpkin fan, try Weyerbachers Imperial Pumpkin Ale. It's around 9% and is spectacular.

Re: beer hauls
 

OMG yes! Weyerbacher is glorious.

Re: beer hauls
 

Not sure that is avail in my area but I will keep a look out. Thanks for the recommendation.

Shawn

Re: beer hauls

Shawn

Re: beer hauls

Re: beer hauls
 

I'll swing by my local and see if they have any bottles left.

Re: beer hauls
 

Fill me in if they have any left too. I've never had one and would love to try it.

Re: beer hauls
 

Oh and altra, if you want weyerbacher let me know lol

Re: beer hauls

Re: beer hauls
 

nice p/u

Re: beer hauls
 

Speaking of which...y'all want to make some recommendations as to pumpkin beer for someone who isn't a fan of a hoppy taste. I see the Souther Tier above. Have no expertise in this one, or anything really. ;)

Thanks

Re: beer hauls
 

In my experience most pumpkin beers tend not to be very hoppy. Im a big fan of the Southern Tier Pumpking if you can find it. Dog Fish Head also makes a good one.

Re: beer hauls
 

Cant get better than Dogfish Head and Weyerbacher

Re: beer hauls
 

I have these 2 coming next week. both got good ratings.

Re: beer hauls
 

I had both last night...delcious. Elysian brough 8 or so of their pumpkin beers and The Great Pumpkin was the best of the night IMO. FYI LOTS of spice

Re: beer hauls

Re: beer hauls
 

Awesome. Thanks Gents. :tu

Re: beer hauls
 

Good thing I can't stand the seasonal October stuff or I would be broke. :r

Re: beer hauls
 

I'm with you. I try a different one each year just to see and always wonder why I bother, just not for me.

Re: beer hauls
 

I have a problem.

http://gregpugliese.com/wws.jpg

Re: beer hauls
 

I don't see a problem.....what I see is 24 of the some of the tastiest beers out there :tu

Nice f*cking haul :tu :tu

Re: beer hauls
 

Well the "problem" is that there are nearly 3 other cases there that I had to hold myself back from, mixed 08s & 09s. I took all 08's.

Re: beer hauls
 

Those sound delicious, wish we could get them here.

Re: beer hauls
 

Just picked up 4 bottles of Ayinger OktoberFest Märzen . :banger

Re: beer hauls
 

Well done. :tu:dr:r

Re: beer hauls
 

Pumpkin stout? That sounds TASTY!

Re: beer hauls
 

Yes, it does. Hoping i can find a bottle.

Re: beer hauls
 

It was a good beer, dry finish which makes it pretty drinkable. This is either a good thing or a bad thing depending on your perspective, if you want a big heavy stout this is not your beer - but if you want something that is more 'drinkable' this is a great beer. It's not 'thin' by any means, but it does not have the 'body' of a big Russian Imperial Stout. Hope that helps with someone's decision making. :tu

Re: beer hauls

The Weyerbacher was a 4pk & the Bell's was a 6--needed a good quantity of yeast to harvest :tu besides, it's a great beer.

Re: beer hauls
 

Sounds excellent. I'll have to see if we can find some around here. :tu

Re: beer hauls
 

Well I enjoyed the Harvest Pumpkin so much I had to pick up a case.

Also finally picked up some Paulaner Oktoberfest Marzen

I like my pumpkin beers to favor the pumpkin spice flavors, especially nutmeg and vanilla. Pumking is hands down my favorite, Shipyard is shockingly similar, at a much lower price. Buffalo Bills and (not pictured) Post Road are next in line. The Weyerbacher and Schlafly are both a little more toned down on the spice, followed by the Tommyknocker. From past experience I've found Dogfishead and Smuttynose to favor pumpkin over spice, so they usually don't come home with me.

I love October.

Re: beer hauls
 

Just picked up 3 six packs yesterday Left Hand Milk Stout, Breckenridge Vanilla Porter, and Smuttynose Pumpkin. Had to restock after quite a few of my Sam Adams Harvest collection broke when I opened the bottle.

Re: beer hauls
 

I can not find the Paulaner Oktoberfest in bottles. No one around here seems to have it or know why they dont.Had it all over last year. Thats one of my all time favorites.

Re: beer hauls
 

You find Weyerbacher to be toned down on spice?

Then wtf are my tastebuds smoking? lol

Re: beer hauls
 

I'd like to know what you think of these. The Smokestack series are some of my favorites.

Re: beer hauls
 

The Boulevard Bourbon Barrel Quad was awesome, haven't tried any other. I'd like to know what your thoughts on the Sixth Glass are though.

Re: beer hauls
 

Sixth Glass is my second favorite behind Tank 7. I'm not good at describing flavors, I just know what I like. It's funny because, I haven't tried a SS series that I don't like. My wife says it's because they're $10-$12 a bottle. :r
My least favorite was the Brett-Saison, still good, as they all are, but there was something about it that I didn't care for as much.

Re: beer hauls
 

I love this time of year. :banger
