started selling their pumpkin ale yet this year?

9/4/2009 5:54:20 AM

I don't know, but there's a Durham post on beeradvocate talking about 20 cases of Dogfish Punkin' arriving 9.02

9/4/2009 6:01:43 AM

Actually, Big Boss was killed by Solid Snake in the original Metal Gear

9/4/2009 6:04:22 AM

^^ Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. I'm going to drink as much pumpkin ale while I'm home as I can. Delicious alcohol poisoning here I come!

9/4/2009 6:14:39 AM

^^ i think thats the first thing youve ever said that i laughed at.

9/4/2009 7:18:30 AM

man i was gonna bust up in here with a Metal Gear Reference

[Edited on September 4, 2009 at 8:38 AM. Reason : yea i capitalized that R]

9/4/2009 8:38:11 AM

Dogfish punkin is the way to go. DO IT!

9/4/2009 8:45:07 AM

^ Screw that, Big Boss is where it's at

I love pumpkin beers. When Tobacco Road runs out of the current keg of Blanco Diablo, they'll have Harvest Time on tap.

9/5/2009 7:48:14 PM

I think one in my group had it at village draft house last night

9/5/2009 8:32:44 PM

pumpkin ale

9/5/2009 8:43:54 PM

^ 2nd that. I'll have my pumpkin and ale separate.

and the pumpkin in a pie. And not at the same time.

9/5/2009 8:52:24 PM

I'm about to go to the big boss brewery now

9/5/2009 11:15:17 PM

yeah they've started to sell it.

9/5/2009 11:36:39 PM

Had some on tap tonight. Pretty good, but I prefer Harvest Moon from the tap.

9/6/2009 3:57:31 AM

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

They don't happen to sell it in bottles do they? That would make sweet souvenirs to bring back

9/6/2009 5:27:45 AM

when i went to big boss they said they were going to start bottling it last monday.

9/6/2009 8:46:55 AM

^^they bottle it every year.

9/6/2009 3:18:37 PM

Yeah, it's available at the Village Draft House in Cameron Village.

9/6/2009 8:06:47 PM

Can't say I've had Pumpkin Ale.

Not opposed to giving it a try though.

the fuck

i live in delaware, not so far from dogfish head's brewery, and still havent seen punkin' yet int he stores.


although it was in the paper today to expect to see it this week

9/6/2009 8:12:37 PM

T-7 days before I can partake in pumpkin goodness

9/8/2009 7:29:39 AM

If they're bottling it, will it be available in the bigger stores (ie you can get their main beers at some HT's), or only in places like six-twelve/Peace Street Market? Or neither?

9/8/2009 9:09:59 AM

Went to eat at The Pit last night where they have Harvest Time on tap. Pretty good.

9/8/2009 10:18:24 AM

My sister brought me to Helios to get the pumpkin ale on draft. A+++. Then she brought me to Whole Foods to buy a six pack to bring to my friends. My sister is good to me

9/20/2009 6:01:44 PM

the harvest is good. I like it better then the sam adams. Anyone know of anything better?

9/20/2009 6:03:20 PM

Dogfish Head has a really good one but I think Big Boss beats them out.

9/20/2009 6:10:21 PM

oooh i need to go back to their brewery...harvest time is like pumpkin pie in a glass

9/20/2009 6:19:51 PM

I really like Cottonwood's Pumpkin Ale

9/20/2009 6:20:21 PM

^it's the best one I've had

9/20/2009 6:21:22 PM

had that a couple of nights ago and it was my least favorite of the fall seasonals ive had

9/20/2009 6:25:25 PM

Probably the worst pumpkin ale is Harvest Moon unless it's changed since 2005 when I last had it.

9/20/2009 6:31:46 PM

^agreed

9/20/2009 6:33:11 PM

I have a friend who was the president of the food science club last year (might still be) and is now working toward his phd in fermentation science. dude made a ballin' pumpkin ale last year.

and now i want some

9/20/2009 6:36:20 PM

i've been thinking about getting a ps3 to pla metal gear solid 4, but i don't have a job, so it's probably not a wise purchase

9/20/2009 6:47:14 PM

weyerbacher imperial pumpkin beats all

$10.99 for a 4-pack

9/20/2009 8:51:07 PM

I thought this thread was about

9/20/2009 8:55:48 PM

^^ And I thought $8.99 for a 6-pack was high

9/20/2009 8:57:06 PM

it probably has a pretty high alcohol percentage

9/20/2009 9:00:30 PM

9/20/2009 9:05:03 PM

aha motherfuck

[Edited on September 20, 2009 at 9:05 PM. Reason : You know, I'm getting tired of this slow post/reload bullshit.]

9/20/2009 9:05:03 PM

^^^ Good point.

9/21/2009 11:13:07 AM

I'm a big fan of Cottonwood's pumpkin beer and I think I may like Big Boss' even more than that. It's slightly less pumpkin pie than the cottonwood beer.

9/21/2009 11:17:38 AM

Village Draft House has it

9/21/2009 11:32:13 AM

I hope Raleigh Times has it since I'm going there for lunch today

9/21/2009 11:35:04 AM

Metal Gear!?

9/21/2009 11:36:24 AM

Bad Penny?!

5.5%

9/21/2009 11:44:55 AM

^they were talking about Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin ale, which is 8% and a little heavy on the cardamom as far as I'm concerned, still pretty good though
