I really don't like those flavors. Pumpkin pie is just terrible.

Haven't been to Stein's lately, huh? There's definitely pumpkin stuff there, and there has been for a month.

Not as lately as I would have liked to

I believe that..I just meant that if you go to Steins for beer, pumpkin wouldn't be on top of my list..

Still too hot for pumpkin beers. When you can go outside and not get instant swamp arse I'll consider them.

They had (IIRC):

Southern Tier Pumking
Southern Tier Warlock (which is fantastic, BTW)
Post Road (Brooklyn) Pumpkin
Shipyard Pumpkinhead
RJ Rockers Gruntled Pumpkin
Crown Valley Imperial Pumpkin Smash
Terrapin Pumpkinfest
Wasatch Black O Lantern
Wasatch Pumpkin Ale

I might have missed one or two.

Terrapin has an Imperial Pumpkin Pie Porter out as well.

I agree that it's still too hot for pumpkin beers, but if they put 'em out - I'll buy 'em.

Mrs. Sheep informed me that these exist:



I had the Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts last year, but was disappointed. Very little pumpkin flavor.



Dunkin' does a pumpkin offering. I had the pumpkin pie donut (not pictured) last year. It was terrible - it tasted like it was filled with spray paint filling - but I bought it from the Dunkin' on Vets. That place is always a shite show, so it probably WAS filled with paint.

Of all the new trends in craft brewing in the last 3 to 4 years, pumpkin beers may be the worst.

I have to disagree with you there. As long as it's done well I'm ok with it. We still have bigger problems like Old IPAs on shelves and crappy breweries flooding the market to worry about pumpkin beers.

I think far too few brewers do it well. In my experience most pumpkin beers are so over spiced with all spice, cinnamon, and nutmeg that you cant even taste the base beer.

Loved the first year of Pumpkinator, but every release since then has had progressively more and more spice and less stout character.

I understand you there. I used to really like Pumpking and then it seemed to get this weird buttery/Sage thing oddly enough.

You should try Southern Tier's Warlock.

"Imperial Stout Brewed with Pumpkins and Natural Flavor"

At least they decided not to hide the fact they use extracts to flavor this beer.

Southern Tier's flavored beers are too over top for me. I felt like I was going to get the diabetes by sitting next to someone drinking a pint of that Creme Brulee beer.
