Today a work friend invited me to join a facebook group she started. . . . . Pumpkin Beer Extravaganza" or something.  I thought it would be a party.  No, she is just encouraging her friends to try as many pumpkin beers as possible between now and Thanksgiving, posting about what we like and don't like to find the best ones out there.  I am so darn excited!!  I went to the distributor at lunch to get a few things to try with DH over the next few night. 

Any recommendations?  I got Coney Island Freaktoberfest and one called RoadsMary's Baby out of Connecticut.  I don't recall the third (I am splitting 6 packs with two friends because this beer distributor doesn't have the much coveted make your own 6 pack setup.

UPDATE: When I slit the six packs with a work friend, I think I brought good karma onto myself. . . . leaving work on Friday, a coworker gave me the exptra growler of local pumpkin beer she picked up at lunch (it was an impulse buy) and then the friend I gave the six pack to just returned my reusable bag today with a 6 pack of Octoberfest beers in it!!!!!

  • i'm really excited to try RoadsMary's Baby. . . . it sounds so interesting.. . . . rum barrels and vanilla? That screams fall!
  • Pumpking by Southern Tier.. 91% on beer advocate. Its so yummy!


  • I also really like the Shipyard Pumpkinhead. Also Uinta Punk'n is one of my autumn faves!

    Do yams count? The Bruery's Autumn Maple is sooooooo good.

  • Jack's Pumpkin Ale (yeah it's made by AB but I'm not a snob, so whatever, it tastes good), Dogfish Head Punkin Ale, and Sam Adams Harvest Pumpkin Ale are all pretty good. But the BEST is Southern Tier Pumking.

  • Do any of you use the Untappd app?  It's a great way to track beers for yourself and with friends.

     

     

  • I do a taste test every year. My favorites are Susquehanna Brewing Co. Pumpkin Ale and Lancaster Brewing Company Baked Pumpkin Ale, but those might not be available outside Pennsylvania.
