Rett says Say no to pumpkin ales
October 1st, 2008
Fall kicks ass. This year especially because it means I don’t have to water my new sod twice a day any more. And of course because of all the great seasonal beers. No not the Pumpkin ales, although I always buy a couple 6 packs, and I’m always a little dissapointed. I’m talking about Octoberfest.
I really enjoyed Summit’s Oktoberfest. I could definitely taste the higher alcohol content, but it went down smooth and toasty. We’ll see how Surlyfest which I’m about to taste here in a minute, and Schells Octoberfest taste in comparison.

I’d like to argue in favor of Dogfish Head’s Punkin’ Ale. Pretty easy drinking and great with pie.

Thanks for the suggestion flash. I’ll keep it in mind for my next liquor store visit. I honestly do want to find a pumpkin ale that I really like.
