Holy friggin crap - I dig pumpkin brews but this one blew me away. Totally worth tracking down if you dig this sort of thing. A lot of these ales taste sort of artificial, and neither like an ale or a pumpkin. This one is easily the best I've ever had, it's like a fucking meal!

There's a micro brewery in Hayward, CA (southeast of San Francisco) called Buffalo Bill's. When I lived in the East Bay I used to always pick up a few jugs of their Pumpkin Ale to bring along to a Halloween party. It looks like they're bottling it these days. http://www.buffalobillsbrewery.com/brewery.asp It's just like the website says, "Pumpkin pie in a bottle."

while I do enjoy Blue Moon more than most, the Pumking puts it to shame. HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION! I'll have to check out the buffalo bill brew, sound awesome... |

I like it once a year. I believe they contract out the brewing/bottling to Portland Brewing Co. Or at least they use to... |

I like it once a year. I believe they contract out the brewing/bottling to Portland Brewing Co. Or at least they use to... I've never actually tasted Buffalo Bill's bottled stuff. I used to live about a mile from the place and bought it on tap. You could buy it by the gallon and they would fill a jug right from the tap and seal it up for transport while you wait. Once you bought the jug, you could bring the empties back and have them refilled minus the cost of the jug. Nothing like getting it right from the tap.  Plus, it seems that the brews they sell on the premises are brewed on the premises. You could actually see the brewing vats, or whatever they're called, through a window in the back. I guess when they started distributing their brews, they needed to use a larger facility to make the larger quantities for bottling.
I'll try to track down that Pumpking, though. |
