Saw an article about pumpkin beer being available already

[sactoking]

Gregg Easterbrook , a writer who does the Tuesday Morning Quarterback column for ESPN, often rants on things like this. He has an ongoing segment titled "Unified Creep Theory" or some such where he tracks things, typically seasonal or time-dependent, coming out way too early (it originated as a Christmas Creep tracker). He noted that things like Sam Adams Summer were available in winter/spring and once summer actually hit it had been pulled in favor of the fall pumpkin brews.

I like Spaten Oktoberfest, but also drink Spaten Lager.

I like Warsteiner and Warsteiner Dunkel. Hoffbrau Dunkel is pretty good too.

I'm a big fan of Spaten Oktoberfest, but I'm also, unfortunately, boycotting InBev. You know of any other beers that taste similar?

Spaten is pretty good, Sam Adams and Liene's are bad either


Schlafly makes a GREAT pumpkin

Where do you live? All you're looking for is a Marzen-style - that means it has a big malt backbone to it. You could also enjoy a dopplebock, as they're quite similar.

Interesting. Last year was kinda a quiet year for pumpkin beer releases around here so hoping this year is a bit better

Side effect of spending too much time around cultures.
