  Dove into the cellar tonight and had a 2013 Brown Shugga. Beer is holding up well, still hoppy with a very nice caramel undertone. Looking forward to the latest batch.

  I tried the Smashed Pumpkin a few nights ago and loved it.

  This was my gateway into craft beer. It's no wonder I got hooked. This stuff is very nice.

  You sir suck as well!

  I had two Flying Dog Imperial Stouts (9.2% ABV) and one Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Pumpkin Ale (10% ABV) last night. Such a great buzz when drinking craft.

  Just got home from Ann Arbor; had dinner and beers at Jolly Pumpkin. For me the standout beer was Roja du Kriek; it's La Roja in barrels with cherries. Could have drank it all night but wanted to take advantage and try some other tap only beers. Also ended up leaving with a bottle of Lupulo de Hielo and a nice glass.

  I'm trying a pumpkin ale tonight from a brewery near Cincinnati. Rivertown Brewing. It's a pretty decent brew.

  Still haven't had Rivertown pumpkin. Want to try it bad.

  Had a few St. Louis brews this weekend while I was there for shows. Drank some Schlafly (their Oktoberfest, Pumpkin, and Pale Ale) that was pretty decent.
  
  Then I had a 4 Hands Cast Iron Oatmeal Brown that was absolutely fantastic.

  Had some Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Stout last night. I like their stuff... just pretty over priced when comparing to other similar stuff on the market.

  It's not crazy overpriced. I look at those as if they are asking you to buy 2 bombers. $15 for two bombers isn't terrible.

  So effin' good.

  Had Triple Digit's pumpkin today when I stopped in to Listermann's. Really spicy, but I thought it was a good pumpkin.
  
  Drinking a Quaff Bros. Kaboom! right now. It's an oatmeal stout with cinnamon aged in bourbon barrels. Holy fuck, it's rocket fuel and it tastes amazing!

  Got a Dark Apparition by Jackie O's tonight. I realize after drinking it that I have never really known what true love is until tonight.

  What kind of beer is it?
• OSH

  

  Had my first pumpkin beer tonight, Leinenkugel style...blech! Noooooo more for me.
  
  Maybe I shouldn't make a rash decision on pumpkin-style from a Leinie, but I am skeptical from the beginning. Not a pumpkin fan at all.

  Russian Imperial Stout.

  For sure not the best pumpkin to start with.

  I had the same hunch. I'm a Leinie fan though...gotta support the Cheesehead supporters!
• sherm03

  

  Anyone ever tried Headless Wylie's? It's a pumpkin from Rivertowne. I picked up a sixer last night and I'm dipping into that tonight. Reviews on Untappd are pretty solid.

  Leinenkugel is complete garbage. Try out their fall shandy pack if you want to throw up. They have some sort of old fashioned one that tastes like barf.

  I believe that certain fellow would tell you he enjoys Radlers more than Shandies!!! LOL!
• O-Trap

  

  My beef with shandies is that someone put something other than beer in my beer.

  I believe he'd also tell you he prefers malbecs over shandies.
