Absolutely awful stuff. I'm still trying to figure out why anyone likes anything with a Blue Moon label on it.

Smuttynose a brewery from Maine (I think) does a great Pumpkin Ale. I also like the new Sam Adams Harvest Pumpkin Ale. The downside with the SA Pumpkin is that they only sell it in the Harvest Collection mix pack. It's a pretty great mix pack, but I'd like to be able to just get the pumpkin.

Weyerbacher's is awesome. I get it for around $9 also.

I'll have to see if my local has it. ...and Smuttynose is from New Hampshire, I believe. Their IPA is one of my favorite affordable IPAs.

Their pumpkin is excellent in my opinion. Are they in NH?

Shipyard also makes a good pumpkin but a little on the over spiced side in my opinion. Aren't they in Maine? I think maybe I got the two confused.

Just had another SA Harvest Pumpkin and I'm not so sure it's still on my "recommended" list. It didn't have as much pumpkin flavor as I remember from the last time I had some. Of course, that last time was on draft at the brewery. Draft beer is always better.

So glad I didn't buy it. They had it sitting by the checkout, and I almost grabbed it. I don't really care for blue moon either. Just saw a bunch of talk on here about pumpkin brews, and thought I would like to try one.
