Oktoberfest....

I wait all year for October to roll around for Pumpkin beer season.

Post Road has been my favorite for years, but this year it's #2.
Buffalo Bill's is darn good, I put it at #1, but just barely.
Saranac is #3, and Smuttynose lags behind at #4.

I'm not a fan of Dogfish Head and Blue Moon Pumpkin, not spicy enough. Same reason I put Smuttynose at #4. Seems you get spiced beer, or pumpkin flavored beer, I'm partial to the spiced style.

Then in Feb the local microbrewery makes 'Naked Fish', a chocolate raspberry stout. Some people look forward to Valentine's Day, I look forward to 'Naked Fish' day

PUNK'N by Four + Brewing (Salt Lake City) is pretty good stuff.

One of my favorites was the 06 Blue Moon Winter Ale. I remember last winter I was excited when I saw it on the shelves and bought it. To my surprise they changed the beer, the 07 wasn't as good as the 06 winter ale.

I hope they bring it back this winter.

Check around--I've been able to get this for a few weeks now. And I think I'll be picking up a 6pk every time I go in the store until they're out

I like stouts but found this weak and tasteless.
