I love pumkin beer, I've tried over 50 and Pumking stands out...tastes just like pumkin pie. They have it in most craft beer stores and in Fl quite a few beer bars even have it on tap....shouldn't be hard to locate.
I dig it, too. Haven't had nearly as many types as you, though.

Have you tried Shipyard's Pumpkinhead Ale? That's my fav thus far.
Yeah thats a solid pumpkin beer...just not as sweet as pumking. Also might want to try punkin by dogfish head its a solid pumpkin ale also.

I hate beers brewed with raisins. Taste like cough syrup.

Anybody ever tried Caguama Cerveza? Saw it at a local supermarket at about $10 for a 12pk.
Not bad for a light ale type beer. Checked it on Google and had a pretty amusing experience reading this.

Trader Joe's Mission Street Anniversary Ale, $2.99 for a 22 oz bottle, great stuff. No better beer for the money, far as I know.

Had some Bellhaven Scottish Stout this weekend. It was awesome. Guinness should be pumping up the advertising because this one might give it a run for it's money.

I've had Bellhaven Scottish Ale before (Wee Heavy) and it's really tasty. I'll have to give the stout a shot.

BTW, I saw a sixer of Blue Point Toasted Lager, but not the stout one you recommended. Trying to see if I can get a hold of it.
Get the toasted. Its another favorite of mine. I'm actually trying to get them to brew me 5 gallons for the weekend.

Not that for Budweiser.

Have you tried Lagunitas Imperial Stout? Its brewed out of Petaluma Ca. A store in Pt Richmond has it for about $3.99 a bottle. Shits 9% wich is odd for the price.

I realized you'd mentioned this after I "randomly" tried it (and loved it). Good call, Griss.

Never heard of it myself, but based on very limited reviews sounds pretty run of the mill. Doesn't mean its not good though. Which one did you have?

Pretty much every single one I look up seems to get mediocre reviews.

Looking at Post Road and Uinta pumpkin beers, since I've seen them around locally.
Pumpkin beer is probably one of my least favorite styles. I tried to make one, a very early batch in my brewing life, and it turned out pretty mediocre (okay really bad). Haven't really tried too many since then. The last one I can remember trying had this jack-o-lantern on it and from what I can remember, was not terrible.

Okay after a quick google search to try and identify that beer, I found out that the majority of Pumpkin ales have a jack-o-lantern on their bottle, lol.

Do you get any of Schlafly's beer where you are? They sound like they have a decent one.

Thanks, meezy. I read about this one; there's a place near me that has six-packs....for $19!!! I just....can't spend that kinda money on a sixer, in good conscience. Fucking ripoff.
Good job perpetuating Jewish stereotypes.

Yeah, one of the bad thing about the craft beer movement, so damn expensive. One of the reasons I started brewing my own. You need to find some beer connoisseurs around you. That's how I get to try most of the new stuff I try. Much cheaper to get a wide sample when everyone brings a bottle or two of something.

Can I just say I like "all the above"!

I love a lot of beers. Although I don't care much for Kilkenny and some of the more bitter beers made in the UK.

But I do love Guiness. I also enjoy most North American beers.
