Innis & Gunn Rum Aged
Innis & Gunn Bourbon Aged
Southern Tier Pumking
Terrapin Cranberry Pumpkinfest
Nektar Zombie Killer (cider)
Lindemans Cherry Kriek

I also bought some that are pretty standard that I know I like:

Monday Night Slap Fight
Uinta Hop Nosh
CC Tropicalia
CC Athena

One that will likely be nasty:

Coastal Empire Coco Pina Gose

And finally one that was actually pretty good on draft at Chimes last week

I haven't been too impressed with anything I've had from Innis and Gunn, but YMMV.

I abstain from commenting on ST Pumpking. My better half loves it, but I don't do pumpkin beers. I also abstain from the Terrapin one.

Never had the Zombie Killer. Looks intriguing. I like cysers, which is what it appears to actually be.

Lindemans Kriek is sweet. If you like that, you'll like this beer.

I find goses are dependent on environment. I like them in the hot summer, but can't stand them once it starts cooling down.

I have a Rogue Double Chocolate Stout and a Terrapin Liquid Bliss. I didn't mention those because I only brought up the ones I just bought. But how would y'all know that?

Nah they are about like I am. We just like doing tastings. 3 beers in a day is enough for me. This way I get to try 12 different ones!

I'd never heard of it. There was a guy there buying 3 cases because he can't get it where he lives. So I decided to give it a whirl. (I just bought one bottle/can of each of them)

I generally don't either, but others in our foursome like them and I can handle 3 oz.

I love cherry ciders. I'm going to bring my El Dorado rum to pair with it.

I've had the raspberry. Thought I'd try the cherry too.

I agree. I've heard this one tastes like suntan lotion. I just had to get one.
