Agreed. Why mess up good beer.

Not a fan of fruit and/or vegetable beers, but PumKing by Southern Tier has an interesting flavor.

gonna have to look at schlafly (edit: apparently their closest seller is in port jefferson, ny haha).

You nailed it. I buy it by the case tis the season. Shipyard Pumpkinhead is a big favorite. Tastes even better when I'm up in Boston. The bar in Regina's does the cinnamon rim just right ;-)

Couldn't agree more. It categorically sucks. No better way to kill your palate for the entire rest of the night. I love beer, but this - no.

This. Ban Pumpkin beer. Embrace Oktoberfest. This is my favorite time of year beer-wise.

Shiner's Oktoberfest is surprisingly good. Sierra-Nevada's was not my style, though I can see those who like hoppy styles liking it.

Currently have Saranac in the refrigerator "on-deck" circle. Yum!

My wife who typically only likes Amber Bock loves Sierra-Nevada's Oktoberfest.

never been a fan of pumpkin beers, they are always over done or too sweet.

that being said, dogfish head does a good job!

Pumpkin beer sucks, but as mentioned earlier Schlafly does a decent job.

Agree, most pumpkins are not my thing but Dogfish was tasty if you want to have one.

For those that don't like them, don't drink them! Lots of decent beers so you don't have to pain yourself trying them if they're not your thing.


I mostly drink IPAs and mostly local IPAs but that Dogfish is good, not too sweet and it tastes like a well done beer. I know a lot of guys are into porters too and I don't get it, not my thing.
