Eh, not for me. I like my pie on a plate with a blob of whipped cream.
Which one did you have?

Pumpkin beer = 
Not a big fan.
On the other hand, Oktoberfest is out! Picked up sixers of Sam Adams and Saranac this past weekend.
And pics are always needed.

Do you drink beer for a living? How do you keep up to make sure its still fresh?
Keep it out of direct sunlight and minimize temperature shifts. The stuff in growlers is in cardboard boxes in the basement or in a fridge. Once it's opened and exposed to air it needs to get finished within a couple of days or it can go stale. The stuff I brew I stagger so that I've always got a couple on tap and a couple on deck, it's all about scheduling and if I start running into tight schedules I'll bottle some and give it away to friends and family.
Edit: Now that I think about it, I guess I do have a bit of a surplus...I should have a beer party when these last few are ready to drink.
Dude - you must weigh 400lbs... 
I'm no XC racer for sure but I'm no Clydesdale either, 205 this morning and on my way down.Dude - you must weigh 400lbs...
I'm in.
can you say YUMMY
This is on my list to try ASAP.
So far, I have sampled Saranac Pumpkin (eh, it was good, but I know there are better ones out there) and another from the local Saratoga Brewery that was good. I'll have to look at the bottle at home to put the name up.
Also left to try: Dogfish & Blue Moon Pumpkin Ales.
Yeah, knowing your taste in bourbon, you'd probably love this porter. It's got some charred oak chunks in the secondary fermenter along with 16oz of Eagle Rare 12yr. Single Barrel, it was tasty before I added those, I'll let you know in 6 weeks how it finishes off.Yeah, especially with that bourbon porter laying around

Bluemoon products cost slightly more than most quality microbrewery beers toolthumbsdown:
You must be f***in' jokin'?Bluemoon products cost slightly more than most quality microbrewery beers too
I think it was $8 for a six pack at the local discount liquor store.You must be f***in' jokin'?
Holy crap! That's more than a 6-pack of Titan IPA.
Dogfish Pumpkin is excellent.
I don't think they make any bad beers. If they do they don't get shipped.

i'd say that they don't make any *run of the mill* beers...some of the ones i've had weren't all that successful, imo (au currant, raison d'etre, jaihu, immort ale, etc).
Raison D'etre is pretty horrible.
I have to agree, aside from their 60, 90 and 120 minute IPAs and the Worldwide Stout, I'm not too fond of anything DFH puts out.
the indian brown is outstanding, and i am not normally a brown ale fan.
the peche festina was pretty good, too.
i quite like that one
Exactly. Isn't it about time for another mtb video night?You know we're always ready to help out if you need it
