    Got some Pumking, Stone Enjoy By, and Founders Double Trouble waiting at home in the fridge. Can't wait!

    All 3 are great. Stone and Founders put out some good stuff.

    Put the Pumking on the shelf for a year or two, let it age. You'll be happy.

    Has anyone had Six Point 3 Beans?

    I grabbed a 4 pack at the store today and i'm excited to try it.

    Also had Westbrook's One Claw last night for the first time. Quite a tasty Rye Pale ale

    Am I the only one that has zero interest in even trying a pumpkin ale? It doesn't sound appealing to me.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    I've tried 1 so I guess I don't qualify but you've made the right decision.

    Kidding aside though obviously there is a wide variety of tastes amongst craft beer drinkers. I prefer IPAs, others stouts. I like pumpkin pie but I'll pass on the beer. I'll pass on most flavored(fruit, coffee, spices, chocolate) beers anyway.

    Well I won't buy them anyway.

    Agreed. I like reds and i like ipa's and this is a good mix. This is my new saturday game day beer for now.

    Also, as far as pumpkin ales go they are hit or miss. I've been enjoying Harpoon's UFO Pumpkin lately. I think that is a good balance not too pumpkiny and not too aley

    I had the same attitude when I first started getting into craft beer... though that has completely changed lately. I've got a Pumking the the fridge at the moment I can't wait to get to... it's the first year it's been available in Texas. Also had A pumpkinator 2011 the other weekend, and the almost 2 years worth of age on it made it so drinkable I could have chugged the whole 10% ABV, 22 oz bomber.

    When pumpkin beer is done right, it's delicious - when it's done wrong, it's drain-pour time. To anyone who doubts the pumpkin ale, just try something that's highly regarded (i.e. Pumpking) and I think you'll find a new appreciation for the style. I know I have.

    I'll drink a Pumpkin beer every so often. Most of them are over-done but if it's brewed with subtle flavors they can be tasty. I hate though when the bar serves them with a whole frickin spice rack on the rim of the glass.
