Oktoberfest Time!

[Wishbone]

I love this beer. Spatan and Sam Adams this week.

Sammy's is pretty tasty this year. I didn't like last year's, though the recipe was probably identical.


What I need is a pumpkin ale. Suggestions?

Any Map App could probably show you the closest gay bar.

I'm not a pumpkin beer fan but I do have some suggestions.

Southern Tier Pumking is probably the quintessential pumpkin beer. Sweet and spicy like a pumpkin pie (which will be a lot of these since the pumpkin spice is usually more apparent than the pumpkin itself)

If you get Elysian beer, The Great Pumpkin, Dark of the Moon, and Night Owl are all pumpkin beers. TGP being more along Pumking's line, DotM being a pumpkin porter, and Night Owl as a lighter pumpkin ale. Sort of a Fall Amber with pumpkin and spices.

Dogfish Head Punkin is a pumpkin brown ale and should be pretty easy to find

Shipyard Brewing out of Maine makes Smashed Pumpkin Ale which is along the lines of Pumking and The Great Pumpkin.

Whatever you end up finding, a little tip. Don't drink these ice cold. Let them come up to about 50 degrees or so and you'll get a lot more flavor out of them. The cold stuff is for crap you don't want to taste. Cold kills flavor.

lol. Fair enough. Hey, it's once a year - and it's not like someone can down a 6er of 'em. Ok, I'm rationalizing my gayness.

Yes, THANK YOU. This whole myth of "Brits like warm beer!" needs to be dispelled. Lager is the only thing you should drink at 34 degrees so that your taste buds are frozen and you can't tell how crappy the beer is.

Yuk, no pumpkin. There are so many nice Oktoberfest beers available right now. Surprisingly, Yuengling Oktoberfest was really good. Also Lancaster Brewing Company's Oktoberfest is tasty.
