Anyone have the ShockTop Pumpkin beer? Not sure of the whole name.
I had an Octoberfest yesterday. I don't see the big deal with it. It wasn't great.

I'm just not ready to take it to "Suicide Level" yet. Still too many beers to experience before I go.

Same here. That stuff is excellent. It is to other pumpkin beers what the Creme Brulee Stout is to other sweet stouts.Kraftster wrote:I just bought some ST Pumking.

The Creme Brulee Stout is too sweet for me. The butterscotch notes are overwhelming. When I had it mixed with a guinness it was perfect.

That Creme Brulee Stout sounds great.
Was smashing some Dogfish 60 minute last night and a few Long Trail IPAs.

Re: GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!
I like the creme brulee a lot on draft. The bottle isn't nearly as good. Although you can still only really drink one either way.

Re: GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!
Thoughts from the Big Pour this weekend (my first time going there).
- If you like beer and food, go. There are tons of good restaurants representing there and bringing some tasty foods to eat and soak up some of the beer.
- The homebrewers had the best pumpkin beer and six point had the best IPA.
- Kudos to the dudes that actually show up from the breweries. Off the top of my head, one of the poureres from Founders was incredibly knowledgabe, and the dudes from the brewery in Chambersburg were cool.
- I'd suggest the first session, a lot of the dudes were getting tanked at their stations in the first sessions, the second one has to be just a freaking mess.

It's only available as 22oz bottles so you won't find a sixer but you should be able to pick up one or two bombers. They run about 10 bucks.jimjom wrote:Do they sell this stuff by 6 pack anywhere in themeecrofilm wrote:I like the creme brulee a lot on draft. The bottle isn't nearly as good.

I've seen it at Barley's and Hop's in Bethel park and at The Bottleshop in Heidelberg, couldn't tell you what distributors are carrying it though

Re: GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!
ST surprises me with some of the stuff they sell in sixers, though I only ever see it in Erie (Wegmans). They had their Raspberry Porter in a sixer, which prior to seeing it in Erie I had only seen in 22s.

Re: GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!
More of an anti-recommendation here....
I was in my local bottle shop last week and saw this at $9.99 a sixer:
Having lived in full-on Polish neighborhoods in both Chicago and Brooklyn, I can tell you that this stuff tastes like pasteurized urine.
EDIT: I've had a about 10 different Polish beers and they were all pretty lousy.....Not sure what the deal is with that.

Okocim Porter is a good Polish beer. Its a sweeter porter, but it is pretty good.

In all seriousness, a lot major alcoholism - street drinking in fact - in my old hoods.
It was pretty depressing.
