I figured there would be one. Seems quantities are higher than previous years, though.

I still have a 2013 sitting in my fridge because I don't even like the taste. Sure as hell won't be buying a 2014.

eta: I think some people rate beers exceptionally well just because they are rare and hard to find. on that same token, people rate widely available beers poorly due to high distribution (i.e. Sam Adams Rebel IPA is a solid IPA but has a pretty low BA rating).

Had a friend that drank his 2013 last week, and he said it was a totally different beer, in a good way.

I'm sure. I think Pumpkinator is fantastic though... probably going to pick a few up today.

snagged a few bottles this morning. It's my favorite pumpkin beer for sure. Opened a 2013 a week or so ago and it was drinking really well. I have a 2012 stashed away along with the 2013 so I guess it's time for a three year vertical comparison .

Dude the 2013 version was the definition of meh when I drank it this time last Fall. I still have one left that I'm letting get some age but my expectations are not high.

Was comical how pissy they were getting when people were posting locations that had GitM.

2014 is much better than the 2013 version. The 2013 version tasted much like a liquid potpourri. Not good.

Their Rumkinator is very good as well.

Pumpkinator really isn't all that rare around here anymore. Starting last year, St. Arnold made a more of it, and BR's allotment was pretty big. Shouldn't be to hard to find IMO, at least for the next couple of days.

Really? That's a great session IPA. I'll be grabbing that for the weekend.
