    Not bad, but I don't get the hype for this or anything pumpkin related. What's with the recent fascination with pumpkin?

    :grin: Are you going to drink those things, for real?

    SRSLY, aren't they... stale by now? Pumpkin went to the bottom? :eek:

    Also, 290/Barker Cypress is way outside the 610 loop like reported earlier. I might just try this beer. Don't know how my stomach might take it.

    It doesn't have the skunky burro piss flavor like Tecate so you might not like it.

    No comment on the aging of beer ignorance.

    Also, just sampled the first bottle and this year's batch is definitely superior to last years.

    I've still got 2 in the fridge from last year too. Gotta get someone in town to find me some of this years. Easily St. Arnold's best regularly released beer.

    Avery released their Rumpkin last week and I was able to get 3. I had one and am gonna let the other 2 sit for a long while since they are 17.5%

    Upslope's Pumpkin Ale this year is also pretty nice

    Pumpkin beers are definitely hit or miss. Far too many of them just taste like spices and cinnamon.

    Pumpkins in fall aren't a recent phenomenon

    Not this anglo. Hate anything Pumpkin related. Also pretty much can't stand anything St Arnold's, Karbach owns them something hard.

    I put Shiner and Southern Star ahead too. I guess we're only talking Houston though. Not sure about 8th Wonder. No Label is Katy.

    Pumking is decent if you're a basic beer drinker who needs a big flavor punch. Southern Tier is pretty much the king of "Dessert Beers". The Creme Brulee is pretty good too.

    Would love to get my hands on an Avery Rumpkin.
