Pumking used to be really good, but I haven't had it in ages. Maybe a rich fag can shed light on how it is in 2021

>>16669477
Here it is chief

Holy shit, there’s pumpkin beat? I fucking love pumpkin. I’m going to scout out some cheap pumpkin booze the next time I go to the store. I’ve been planning on getting shitfaced by myself any so this works perfectly.

>>16669499
>pumpkin beat?

you fucked up

>>16669485
I just bought some today. Just opened one to try it out, just for you pal.

Haven't had a pumpkin beer in nearly 2 years, but it tastes like how I remember them tasting, which is liquified pumpkin pie. This Pumking is thick, though. Almost feels like a stout. Would recommend it.

>>16669506
Fuck, maybe I already am shitfaced.

>>16669512
Fuck you. Now I have to spend 16$ on a 4-pack of pumkang. Hope you're happy (like I will be).

>>16669517
don't worry anon we all are

>>16669533
Have fun.

>>16669477
Punkin ale is the shit, one of the few pumpkin flavored products I enjoy. Saranac has a really good pumpkin ale as well

>IPAs are popular
>pumpkin spice is popular
>"Therefore pumpkin IPAs will be super popular!"

Except it doesn't work. Brown ales or even stouts work better with pumpkin flavor than IPAs.

What pumpkin booze tastes decent and has some bite to it?

>>16669485
I prefer warlock, but pumking is a comfy beer to drink around a fire on a cold fall day

>>16669533
it's 10 bucks for a 4-pack at costco
also your local grocery store probably won't care if use a mix-6 sixpack

>>16669562
They also make the best s'more beer I"ve ever had, and i've had close to a dozen. Saranac is good shit.

So far this year i've tried Kentucky Pumpkin from Lexington and Great'er Pumpkin from Heavy Seas, and a few local brewery options. None have been any good so far.

Southern Tier is a good benchmark last I had.

I like this

Pumpkin beer sucks. It has not pumpkin flavor only cinnamon, clove, and ginger.

>>16669477
Southern Tier Warlock. Best pumpkin beer I've ever had

>>16669477
My favorite, although it may be hard to find. Thick, boozy, very flavorful with a nice roasted taste. I think a 4-pack was $13

I've been told the Stegmaier is good. Not sure what kind of distribution that gets though

I don't really like all the pumpkin beers out there, but this barrel aged pumpkin barleywine is objectively good, if you can get your hands on it. Voodoo Brewery "Caution! Contains Real Pumpkin"

where the fuck is the harvest patch shandy
only pumpkin beer that tastes like pumpkin and not pumpkin spice

>>16670264
Well that's because the pumpkin spice craze has warped people's perceptions of what pumpkin flavor actually is. A lot of people are unaware that "pumpkin" is not the same as "pumpkin spice" (ie Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, ginger)

Occasionally I have encountered beers that genuinely have pumpkin flavor, like pic related. Still not sure I'd recommend it though.

>>16669477
Nothing pumpkin is good.

>>16669562
TFW I live in Utica and hate Saranac with a passion.

Any good pumpkin ciders?

>>16669592
Thanks anon I couldn't remember the name of the other southern tier pumpkin beer for the life of me

>>16669791
S'mores beer definitely sounds really hit or miss but I could see saranac doing it right. They don't tend to over do their flavor while still capturing the flavor profile they're shooting for

>>16671592
It's okay friend, everyone has different tastes. Have you had their legacy ipa? Really good stuff

>>16669477
Have you tried this shipyard?

>>16669477
Anyone know where I can get pumpkin beers in Europe? I live in Finland, but am willing to take a trip out to Germany or some shit.

>>16671501
Pumpkin is the highest tier of all the squashes. You just don't like the artificial "pumpkin-flavored X" bullshit which only really sells for the novelty factor.

>>16669517
Cheers m8

>>16669477
>pumpkin beers
are you a white girl? if so, show bobs and vagene

>>16669571
Nobody posted a pumpkin IPA? What are you talking about? I don't know of a single pumpkin IPA.

>>16671988
Of the...10 or 15 i've managed to find, I'd only drink 2 again, Saranac and a local brewer. They fucking nailed it perfectly. The smell is heavenly. Every taste is in great balance. I'm a s'more junkie so my standards are pretty high.

Definitely gonna pick up their pumpkin ale this weekend, high hopes.

>>16669477
If you're in/around houston, the St. Arnold pumpkinator is my favorite pumpkin beer

Oh my god this thread is great. I'm going to buy some stuff some of you anons posted here tomorrow. That pumpkin imperial sounds great with it being so heavy. I'm excited.

>>16674774
>That pumpkin imperial sounds great with it being so heavy.
I hope you mean mine >>16670267
It's a good 10.5% alc and full bodied, lots of flavor. I get a few every October to have with my horror movies

Otherwise like the other guy mentioned, St. Arnold Pumpkinator is good, similar, and my second choice

>>16669477
Southern Tier Warlock

are there any that taste like pumpkin and not pumpkin spice?

>>16669477
>is discontinued
Its not fair man.

>>16675673

Bought a 12 pack variety box last year of Elysian Brewing pumpkin beers.

Night Owl and Great Pumpkin are fine.
The coffee and chocolate ones I couldn't even drink, had to pour them out which I never do with beer otherwise.

So basically I paid like $20 for 6 drinkable beers

>>16669491
I just bought the vanilla version of that. I'll try it out later once it gets cold.

>>16669477
Love spooky brewskies

>>16672328
"Pumpkin flavor" is not artificial but it's usually simply the spices that go in pumpkin pie

Anyone had this? The bottle is cool.
Rum, not beer, but fits this thread more than a liquor thread

>>16677491
I've always been too afraid to try this but I just may just for the science.

My favorite fall drink is the 100 Proof Captain Morgan's with fresh apple cider. We used to call them claw-makers in college, I can't remember exactly why but they're dangerous, you can barely taste the booze

>>16677515
It's not that expensive and probably makes decent cocktails. Might as well pick up a bottle for the sake of the Halloween season.

>>16676549
I liked all of them, punkacinno was the only meh one

>>16670262
This ones great but holy shit if you don’t finish one and it goes flat it tastes like ass

>>16677736
Oh yeah, I agree with you on that.

saint arnold makes the only good pumpkin beer I've had

>>16670262

Thanks for the suggestion. I tend to stay from Pumpkin stuff, because it tends to be so sweet, but this one hits the mark with that hint of habanero.

>>16677736

To be fair, that's pretty much every beer. It's astounding the difference that a few bubbles make.

>>16677736
>old, flat beer tastes bad

Anybody got a recipe? It's brewing season. Apples soon to be picked, loads of honey around, and my pumpkins will be ready for harvest..

gonna see what there is available at the liqour store today from our local BC breweries, usually at least 4 or 5 of them do pumpkin ales.

>>16678012
>Anybody got a recipe?
How autistic are we talking? >>>16677523

>>16670262
Fuck New Belgium for getting rid of this for that piece of shit. Pumpkick ale was so fucking good.

Not OP but I bought this shit like people in this thread suggested and it tastes like shit. There’s too much alcohol in it. Can I mix it in something??

>>16677919
This one is particularly bad, a day old flat Miller is drinkable but this goes from a spicy pumpkin taste to chalky poison flat

>>16677736
>Not finishing your beer
Show bobs and vagene bb

>>16678200
> it tastes like shit. There’s too much alcohol in it.

>>16671991
Yes, I’ve tried all their beers. Legacy is drinkable but I wouldn’t seek it out if that makes sense?

>>16675673
I live in NY and I saw new Punkin' Ale at my local craft brew store a few days ago

>>16677727
I was at least able to drink a punkuccino for a bit while I watched Deep Red, but Dark of the Moon was disgusting and I couldn't even force it down.

I actually have a few left in the pantry but I have a feeling they won't age into anything better. I'll still try them next month.

This was good but haven't had it in years.

>>16669477
>Please don't recommend Shityard.
lolol, saved a couple bottles because I know you fags will shit your pants over them.

Here's their power ranking so far (what I've had) in order
>Pumpkin Kerfuffle - Prairie Artisan
>Jack-O - Samuel Adams
>Pumpkin Ale - Schlafly
>Pumpkin Barrel Ale - Alltech
>Pumpkinhead - Shipyard
>Punkin Ale - Dogfish Head
>Ichabod - New Holland
>The Fear - Flying Dog
>Smashed Pumpkin - Shipyard (they use whatever is leftover after Pumpkinhead
>Pumpkin Patch Ale - Rogue
That's just what I've had so far this season - and Schlafly's isn't usually that high up on the list but this year they did pretty damn good. Elysian, Avery, and Blue Moon's pumpkin ales are essentials to try by the way, of what's no on my list. I wouldn't put Prairie's so far up also, as it's a sour ale, but the toasted marshmallow they add to it is damn decent for something pumpkin but different.

>>16680176
Also pic related, it's not terrible but not worth a four pack - definitely between Dogfish's and New Holland's.
>>16670262
>>16677491
these two can fuck off
