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

They never sold that for $1 a bottle at my local corner stores.
In all seriousness, a lot major alcoholism - street drinking in fact - in my old hoods.
It was pretty depressing.

Street drinking in Brooklyn? In the Rudi and post Rudi era?

Not saying it didn't happen Columbia, but I'm surprised. The NYPD is extremely zealous about enforcing the "open container" laws.

I'm talking about people passed out on the sidewalk or on the steps leading down to the G train....And they weren't homeless people.
Greenpoint....the garden spot of NYC.
(I was glad to go upscale and move to Woodside.)

Greenpoint....the garden spot of NYC.

Oh, understood.

We've got more than our fair share of "Garden Spots" up here.

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.

I've had it a couple times and it didn't get any better. Will not be trying again.

Just ate at church brew works for lunch....i think a pumpkin brew is in the works over there, as there were some cooked up pumpkins discarded out back, and a bunch of the brewers were hanging out back there.

But, they also had a pumpkin soup today for special, so the pumpkins might have been related to that.

Had a Pumking at Burgatory last night. Yum, first one I've had on draft this year.

The Mad Mex in shadyside had pumking, that was the only place i've seen it at.

There's Pumking on draft at Wexford Ale House last night. Very tasty, as always. Also had a Boulder Cold Hop on nitro, which was quite good too. IPAs + nitro = awesomeness in general.

ZOMG!




I've never had a beer with a grapefruit finish.
Fantastic.

I bought a sampler 12 pack and this was the last I tried.
Very pleased, because the others were pretty generic.

Jagger Bush in South Side has Pumking on tap, they have a sign outside.

[Shyster]

Hough’s in Greenfield (http://houghspgh.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)also has Pumking on tap, and they will do growlers of anything. (The online list isn’t up to date, but they had it as of Monday). This place fairly recently renovated to turn itself into a serious beer bar.

Barley's and Hop's and The Bottleshop Cafe both do also

[shafnutz05]

So Southern Tier's is the king of all pumpkin ales?

[jimjom]

Found the Creme Brulee beer at Bottleshop. May crack it tomorrow or Saturday night depending on what I have to do the next day.

[jimjom]

That day is today. Pretty good. Caramelly vanillaey beer.

[Eismann]

Magic Hat Octoberfest - really good
Spaten Octoberfest - good
Penn Brewery Octoberfest - ok

Etown Tavern (Etna) last night.

[Pavel Bure]

For those of you who like Sam Adams Cherry Wheat I suggest

It's good as hell.

[Eismann]

Picked up some Stoudt's Octoberfest, Barktoberfest, and Celebrator.

[shafnutz05]

Had Pumking for the first time just now. It was pretty good, not sure if pumpkin beers are my thing. And I really don't think i could drink more than a pint or two of it in a year

[shmenguin]

dude...the creme brulee beer. that's the stuff right there.
